Package: reportbug Version: 3.17 Severity: important
When you specify you want to connect direct to the debian smtp server (e.g. because you haven't bothered to set your MTA up properly yet) reportbug creates the entry "smtphost master.debian.org" in your .reportbugrc Until recently this worked fine, but now I'm getting: Connecting to master.debian.org via SMTP... SMTP send failure: {'[EMAIL PROTECTED]': (550, 'relay not permitted')} Wrote bug report to /tmp/reportbug-bash-20051113-12303-Rhw0J1 Changing the smtphost to bugs.debian.org fixes the problem. This should be changed when creating a new default config (/usr/bin/reportbug:532,538). Maybe some validation on reading configs to change master to bugs automatically for people with existing configs? Nothing fancy, just something like this adding around 805: if options.smtphost == 'master.debian.org': options.smtphost = 'bugs.debian.org' Richard. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="vi" ** /root/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "3.17" mode standard ui text realname "Richard Antony Burton" email "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" no-check-uid no-cc header "X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" smtphost bugs.debian.org -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii python2.3 2.3.5-8 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages reportbug recommends: pn python2.3-cjkcodecs | python2 <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
