Ok, so, I now have more info so hopefully some kind soul will take pity 
on me and provide the clue-stick...

I can confirm that sending email from the commandline now works:

li66-207 ~ # echo "This is a test e-mail..." | mail -s "Test e-mail" 
admin@myserver.com
li66-207 ~ #

I received the email.

But, I'm still getting the same error as above when portage tries to 
email me the emerge logs.

How do I tell portage to simply use the 'mail' command?
