For example, here's what my config looks like:
$ cat .reportbugrc | grep -v \#
reportbug_version "3.48"
mode advanced
ui text
email "ron.l.johnson@cox.net"
smtphost "smtp.east.cox.net"
Last time I tried this, it won't work with Gmail. Does is support TLS and
SMTP-AUTH?
It appears to. From the man page:
--tls If using SMTP, use Transport Layer Security (TLS)
encryption to secure the connection to the mail
server. Some SMTP servers may require this
option.
--smtpuser=USERNAME
If using SMTP, use the specified USERNAME for
authentication.
--smtppasswd=PASSWORD
If using SMTP, use the specified PASSWORD for
authentication. If the password isn't specified
on the command line or in the configuration file,
a prompt will be displayed asking for it.
Use of this option is insecure on multiuser sys-
tems. Instead, you should set this option in
.reportbugrc and ensure it is only readable by
your user (e.g. with chmod 600 $HOME/.reportbu-
grc).
