Package: reportbug Version: 3.38 Severity: normal Like a lot of people, I recently submitted a bug report. Afterwards I realised exim4 wasn't properly configured to send it, as I hadn't yet set up the AUTH stuff for SMTP to my smarthost.
Anyway, after exim4 was reconfigured, I sent my email. My smarthost doesn't like CC without some configuration option set on their end. Running dpkg-reconfigure (with or without -plow) never brings up anything having to do with CC. I would think the CC without any options (in the reportbug.conf file) would allow for exim4 rewrites (which would still trigger my smarthosts problem), but CC with an option would CC the message to the option. For example: CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] where %u is the username, and %l is "localhost" or hostname. I could easily see "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as being the default answer in debconf. So, reportbug should at least allow this sort of thing to be set from debconf questioning. As an aside, when I sought to report a bug on reportbug, it presented a series of options to me before anything went forward. Should this questioning at least be able to determine if I am using a smarthost? I have to configure enough stuff to do it. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="text" ** /home/ghaverla/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "1.99.50" mode standard ui text offline realname "Gordon Haverland" email "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.6.46.4-0.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.5.14 register and build utility for Pyt reportbug recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
