Package: reportbug
Version: 7.10.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to send a bug report and failed, for the reasons explained when
reporting a bug against reportbug: Exim is by default set up to deliver
mails locally only.
However reportbug did not indicate in any way it was the case, quite the
contrary. It reported success and thanked me for reporting the bug. It
would be very helpful if reportbug detected that the mail wasn't
actually sent respectively already before, that exim is configured for
local mail only, and then prints a notice to the user about it.
Basically the exact text displayed when reporting a bug against
reportbug could be printed verbatim there.

Best,
Simon

during the initial reportbug configuration, we ask:

Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP
configured on this computer to send mail to the Internet [y|N|q|?]? ?
y - Yes, I can run /usr/sbin/sendmail without horrible things
happening. If you can send email from this machine without setting an
SMTP Host in your mailer, you should choose this answer.
N - (default) No, I need to use an SMTP Host or I don't know if I have an MTA.
q - Quit.
? - Display this help.

if you answer yes, then it's on you to make so that's true. if you
answer no, we will make sure to deliver emails using a remote SMTP
server.

This is a user configuration error, closing as such
