Package: reportbug Version: 7.1.1 Severity: normal Hi! If the bug report contains an overlong line -- for example, mutt's bug script includes its configure options, 1017 characters long -- reportbug will send that unescaped.
The mail will then be rejected by certain MTAs, such as exim in Debian's unmodified configuration. Exim happens to do so in an extremely unhelpful way: the rejection message says just: Action: failed Final-Recipient: rfc822;sub...@bugs.debian.org Status: 5.0.0 and the log: 2016-12-30 19:19:55 1cN1mV-0003BB-EP ** sub...@bugs.debian.org R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: message is too big (transport limit = 1) Bad error handling by exim aside, reportbug must not send such invalid mails in the first place.
