How to use reportbug from inside a chroot?



Hi,

while I use woody+backports on my working machine, I keep an up-to-date
sid chroot for developping purposes. When reporting a bug I find in the
chroot, I have to save it in a file and then rerun reportbug on woody,
because I do not have an MTA installed in the chroot.

I am not an expert in chroots and/or MTAs, but I guess that it is
impossible to run two MTAs on the same machine, even if one is in a
chroot, because they will try to listen at the same network ports. 

Is there a way to send bug reports to the parent machine's MTA, without
installing and SMTP server there?

TIA, Frank
