More to the point, this is a general issue with all MUAs that depend on an MTA to accomplish delivery for them, and (IMHO) loading down reportbug with functionality that is only necessary to diagnose people's broken mail systems wouldn't be a very good tradeoff.
So an MTA is not allowed to have a bug? :-) Spam filters seem to eat half the legit email these days. There might be several on the path to bugs.debian.org. Supposing that the MTA is indeed misconfigured by the user's own action (can not blame Debian config), so what? It's still important to deliver the bug report. There is no need for reportbug to diagnose broken mail systems; there is only a need to deliver the bug report if at all possible and ensure that silent failure can never happen. Feel free to tell the user "It looks like the email was eaten by a grue." before offering to try some other method.
You may reopen the report, but it will probably be downgraded and marked wontfix.
