Package: reportbug Version: 5.0 Severity: normal
When configuring, reportbug suggests to use a local MTA instead of assuming no MTA is configured. This is even true for the "novice" part. Interrestingly reportbug assumes no special configuration for fetching bug reports. The question is: Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP configured on this computer to send mail to the Internet? [Y|n|q|?]? This should default to No. Consequently the next question should be formulated towards not knowing the SMTP host, rather to present the fallback presented at the end of the text. Proposal: Please enter the name of your SMTP host. Just press ENTER if you don't have one or don't know, and so a Debian SMTP host will be used. Usually it's called something like "mail.example.org" or "smtp.example.org". If you need to use a different port than default, use the <host>:<port> alternative format.
