I think that accounts for everything. I can't figure out how to make bug-buddy send its reports(I'm using Ubuntu). Sometimes I'm not sure whether it has sent it or if it's just lost in my system somehow. I'm no genius, but I should be able to make it work. I know nothing of sendmail, and I shouldn't have to. I'm sure it used to be a lot easier. > - Port 25 not being blocked by the ISP/company > - The requirement for an email address (which I will never change) > - Difficulty of using bug-buddy > > A few of those will be fixed in an upcoming Bug-Buddy version.
