According to <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting>, mails matching

have you got one of your emails rejected because it matched
FROM_DAEMON from BTS? are you trying to fix something that occurred
for real?
Yes. When submitting my first bug report I got suspicious when I did not
receive a confirmation message after a few hours. My main e-mail address
is mail@mydomain.
(I probably used mail+debian@... for the bug report. Obviously, I'm using
another alias right now, since the BTS might otherwise filter the mail --
I don't know if the filter only applies to submit@ or to
*@bugs.debian.org.)
no-one ever complained for this problem, so I'm not
convinced to complicated the code to "fix" something that's not
broken.
That's fine with me, I can easily workaround it by using another mail
address for bug reports.
The thing is: People can only complain about this issue (via the BTS)
after they have found the cause (the FROM_DAEMON filter), after which it
is no longer an issue for them personally (since they know how to
workaround it).
To determine the impact, one would probably need to check how many
mails sent by reportbug get filtered by the procmail rule. However, I
don't know if this can be done easily, or if you consider this worth the
effort (after all, most bug reports proably come from experienced users
who know about this restriction).
Greetings,
