So it uses SMTP by default, Python has standard libraries that make

Ok... so... the question remains - can I tell cron to send mail the
same way?
You don't, cron sends mail via sendmail, to the recipient specified by
the MAILTO variable in the crontab file.
Thanks Neil, but... you said 'You don't'... not 'You CAN'T'...
Can you elaborate on this? If this is not possible - why is it not
possible? In other words, if portage can do it, why can't cron?
