Description Jefferson Carpenter 2018-10-09 02:13:14 UTC

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?
