Subject: reportbug: smtp connection direct to master.debian.org is fails

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.17
Severity: important

When you specify you want to connect direct to the debian smtp server (e.g.
because you haven't bothered to set your MTA up properly yet) reportbug creates
the entry "smtphost master.debian.org" in your .reportbugrc

Until recently this worked fine, but now I'm getting:
Connecting to master.debian.org via SMTP...
SMTP send failure: {'<email address hidden>': (550, 'relay not permitted')}
Wrote bug report to /tmp/reportbug-bash-20051113-12303-Rhw0J1

Changing the smtphost to bugs.debian.org fixes the problem. This should be
changed when creating a new default config (/usr/bin/reportbug:532,538).

Maybe some validation on reading configs to change master to bugs automatically
for people with existing configs? Nothing fancy, just something like this adding
around 805:
    if options.smtphost == 'master.debian.org':
        options.smtphost = 'bugs.debian.org'

Hi,

This one is going to affect a lot of users, so it should probably be
fixed in stable as well.

Don't you think this bug could be better solved by having master relay
mail for bugs.debian.org? That would resolve the problem for new and
existing installs alike and would not require updating the package in
stable as Simon suggested. It would seem like the best fix for me.

Or is there a concern in having master accept mail for bugs.debian.org?

regards,
Thijs

Spam.

It was never correct to hard-code master as an SMTP relay for reportbug;
even when it *was* an MX for bugs, the correct behavior would have been to
do an MX lookup for bugs.debian.org. Now, it's a problem because master.d.o
is no longer an MX for bugs.d.o (and should not be).
