Is there any thoughts on making this the default? It's enabled if stupidmode is set. To do that, say that "no" when asked if you have an MTA configured and just hit enter when it asks for your smarthost. You can always edit the config file as well. It will print the same lines regardless, except that they're commented out when stupidmode is off. > Based on what you say, it seems to use port 587 by default; is this correct? It works on both 25 and 587, TTBOMK. I believe 25 is the default. My example was because I just figured that 25 is a lot more likely to be blocked. You can use "smtphost reportbug.debian.org:587" for port 587. > > All you really need is a working email address to put in the From line > > and an Internet connection.
