A possible downside to that setting is that your host will try to connect directly to the reportbug.debian.org host on smtp port 25. By itself that is fine. But many networks today block port 25 as an anti-spam from local virus infected MS-PCs measure. On those networks such a setting will be blocked from connecting directly. Blocking port 25 outbound is becoming more and more common. Bob
