Drop a text file formatted as mail in the = admin=20 > users maildir, and point the mail client at it as just another source o= f mail. 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. Greetings Sebastian
