reportbug sends mail to wherever it is configured; the default setup should be to send mail to bugs.debian.org, not the ISP's smtp server, since that can't be known in advance. [I don't know if this is the default now, but it should be the default.] Don Armstrong -- I now know how retro SCOs OSes are. Riotous, riotous stuff.
