Right, but mailx is not part of the gentoo nullmailer package. mailx is
part of the mail-client/mailx package. perhaps Just installing this
along with nullmailer I'd be A-OK.

Dang! Too bad my custom hobbit-email-notify.sh script is just getting
its finishing touches!  :(

If I am unhappy with my script results, then I'll try the mailx route.
Thanks!
