Package: reportbug Version: 6.6.6 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
When submitting a bug report, I accidentally used port 25 instead of 587 when configuring my mailserver. reportbug prompted for a password and authenticated with the SMTP server. However, as it connected to port 25, my mailserver simply refused relay access to bugs.debian.org, like it should. It accepted however the RCPT TO for the copy sent to my own user. So my mailserver said: Mai 26 07:33:58 sol.sotecware.net postfix/smtpd[24290]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from p200300722F143A00C59AACF7723B93CA.dip0.t-ipconnect.de[2003:72:2f14:3a00:c59a:acf7:723b:93ca]: 554 5.7.1 <sub...@bugs.debian.org>: Relay access denied; from=<jo...@wielicki.name> to=<sub...@bugs.debian.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<sinistra.sotecware.net> But reportbug did not fail at all, which together with the copy of the mail in my inbox led me to think that everything was fine. Only after I checked my server logs after several hours I realised what happened. reportbug should detect if the mail server refuses one or more recipients and report that problem properly. Ideally, reportbug would allow re-configuration of the mailserver in this case and hint that using the SMTP port instead of the Submission port may be the problem. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="vim" PAGER="less" INTERFACE="gtk2" ** /home/horazont/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "6.6.6" mode standard ui gtk2 email "jo...@wielicki.name" smtphost "mail.sotecware.net:587" smtpuser "jonas" smtptls -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 1.2.12 ii python-reportbug 6.6.6 pn python:any <none> reportbug recommends no packages.
