Bug#380214: reportbug not permitted to send mail by debian SMTP server

2006-07-28 Thread Phil Carmody
Package: reportbug
Version: 3.8

Sending a bug report without having any mail client on my system, I get:

Report will be sent to Debian Bug Tracking System [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Submit this report on qemacs (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|?]? y
Connecting to master.debian.org via SMTP...
SMTP send failure: {'[EMAIL PROTECTED]': (550, 'relay not permitted')}
Wrote bug report to /tmp/reportbug-qemacs-20060728-11176-RNybVx

Therefore I can't send a bug report using it. There's some irony here, one
might say.

My .reportbugrc: 

# reportbug preferences file
# Version of reportbug this preferences file was written by
reportbug_version 3.8
# default operating mode: one of: novice, standard, advanced, expert
mode standard
# default user interface

realname Phil Carmody
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

smtphost master.debian.org
# You can add other settings after this line.  See
# /etc/reportbug.conf for a full listing of options.

master.debian.org is not MX for bugs.debian.org and does thus not
accept messages for that domain from arbitrary senders. I'd say that's
a feature.

How did that master.debian.org make its way into the config file?

Greetings

master.debian.org did relay for bugs.debian.org until relatively
recently (i.e. in the sarge timeframe).  reportbug in unstable and
testing has been updated, but stable hasn't.

The solution: change the smtphost setting to bugs.debian.org and it should work.
