That kind of delivery limits the access to this mails to the local
maschine. If I want to read local I don't need mails, I could just read
the logfiles from portage in /var/log/

But I am aware that solving this problem is nothing that portage has to
do, as it is no problem with portage at all.

My mail was just to show that not everyone has a local mailserver
running on his maschine.
