Some "mailhub", as the documentation likes to call it. And if you need to authenticate yourself to the SMTP server, set AuthUser and AuthPass. Also # Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server. UseTLS=YES is quite useful. > I thought this > thread was saying using SMTP was optional. You misunderstood. This thread was about, *WHERE* SMTP is used. IMO, it's wrong that portage even CAN use SMTP. But nearly always, you'll need to use some SMTP server to get your mail out. But with the /usr/sbin/sendmail interface, it's conceivable to send out the mail WITHOUT the use of SMTP (eg. if the mail is sent from the host with UUCP).
