[gentoo-user] logmail - how to set a username with @?

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello!

Some mailproviders have usernames which contain a @ in the username,
like
	a.skwar@gmail.com

How do I specify the @ in the PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI?

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="neil@digimed.co.uk mail.digimed.co.uk"

works for me, so

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="a.skwar@gmail.com your.smtp.server" should work for you.

No, it doesn't, as this does not define the username. It only sets
the recipient adress.

Have a look at the definition of PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI in make.conf.example:

#                       full syntax is:
#                           address [[user:passwd@]mailserver[:port]]

I want to set the user part to a.skwar@gmail.com, but
don't know how to do that.

I don't necessarily understand the ins & outs of system mail on a desktop,
but as an idea wouldn't it be possible to set /etc/ssmtp/revaliases with
your a.skwar@gmail.com address and point PORTAGE to use ssmtp to do the
posting for you?

Please post back what PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI=  looks like after you get it
working.
