I'm having trouble configuring bts via ~/.devscripts, though similar settings do work for Reportbug, and I'm looking for help solving this. I want bts to send mail via SMTP, so this is how the relevant lines of .devscripts looks right now. BTS_SMTP_HOST=posteo.de:587 BTS_SMTP_AUTH_USERNAME=jscott@posteo.net The man page says * BTS_SMTP_AUTH_USERNAME, BTS_SMTP_AUTH_PASSWORD If these options are set, then it is the same as the --smtp-username and -- smtp-password options being used. * --smtp-username=USERNAME, --smtp-password=PASSWORD If a username is specified but not a password, bts will prompt for the password before sending the mail. But bts never prompts for a password, saying only "mailx: Null message body; hope that's ok." Even putting the password in .devscripts doesn't make it work, and the mails don't send. The last thing I tried was setting BTS_SMTP_HELO. "Note that some SMTP servers may reject the use of a HELO which either does not resolve or does not appear to belong to the host using it." My /etc/mailname says X200, the name I gave this computer which clearly doesn't resolve. Is that normal? I put my public IPv4 address in BTS_SMTP_HELO which didn't make a difference. Thanks, I look forward to figuring this out. P.S. please CC me, I'm not subscribed to the list
