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'
