Package: reportbug

Severity: normal


While composing the message, the reportbug(1) responds, after sending
the report, with a message:

    Bug report submitted to: "Debian Bug Tracking System" 
<[email protected]>
    Copies sent to:
      Debian Bug Tracking System <[email protected]>
      Jari Aalto <[email protected]>

But looking at the bug reports in the BTS, this is not the NAME or
EMAIL that was used:

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573197

I'm not sure where reportbug(1) takes the values for the "From:"
field. In BTS it reads:

   From: "jari" <[email protected]>

It's passing message from one MTA to another MTaA

Ok, I See it at:

    /usr/share/pyshared/reportbug/submit.py:347

Nothing has chnages in my MTA configuration for years other than
upgrades. But I have changes the environment variables and
~/.reportbugrc files.

I ran few tests more and injected few 'print' calls to python-reporbug
library to see what were the exact command to test on command line. Ran
through MTA debug, but all looked good.

Tested by sending a new reportbug mail, and, the From address is
correct. Go figure.

Closing. Thanks for the insight.
Jari
