Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Many ISPs and universities block outbound port 25 (except to their own
servers).  This means that reportbug cannot use direct SMTP to
bugs.debian.org.  How about making bugs.debian.org SMTP listen on the
submission port, 587, as well?  reportbug could then default to that, making
it even more likely to work in adverse conditions.

As you said in bug #420361, configuration changes to the SMTP server would
require DSA intervention.  Thus, I have also submitted this as
https://rt.debian.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74 .  I will mark it forwarded
when this gets a bug number.
