First I run /etc/init.d/nullmailer start and it tells me that it cannot start, and I have to run emerge --config nullmailer first. I do so, then re-run /etc/init.d/nullmailer start, and I get the same exact message. I believe emerge --config nullmailer should report problems it encounters before exiting, and even exit with a non-zero status, so that I can more easily diagnose and fix the issue. Attached the console output.

does this apply to all versions in the tree?
To set the defaultdomain, 'emerge --config nullmailer' uses this command: $ hostname --domain Do you have some domain name set?
