Sendmail service doesn't send logs to my email about emerge

I am looking to configure a sendmail for portage so it will notify me about whats going on.
I installed mail-mta/opensmtpd package and followed these instrucions: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage...ing_for_e-mail

i modified these accordingly:

Code:

PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="mail"

# First the mail-to address, then the SMTP server

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="my_email@gmail.com /usr/sbin/sendmail"

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM="portage@$satellite.example.com"

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT="\${PACKAGE} is \${ACTION} on \${HOST}"

now when i emerge for example pciutils, it doesnt send any logs in email.
am i missing something?

P.S "satellite" is my hostname

Check mail logs for errors.
I'm not familiar with gentoo, but mail related logs are usually written in /var/log/mail or /var/log/maillog
