$ grep -A4 "Use this to enable the internal MTA" /etc/reportbug.conf # Use this to enable the internal MTA (bypassing /usr/sbin/sendmail) # smtphost localhost # # You can also specify a port other than 25 # smtphost mail.example.com:2525 so /etc/reportbug.conf already has all the info you need, but the message in --configure does not propose the alternative format, so I'm going to clarify it.
