That's great! so I suggest to contact ow...@bugs.debian.org and ask what kind of support you can give. And the same applies to everyone else that wants a web bug reporting interface: step up and give help! that's the fastest way to achieve anything in the floss world :) >>> Many new users find it difficult or unnecessary to set up an MTA when >>> they first install, >>> >> >> Could you please point to any reference where it's written that the >> only way for reportbug to work it's thru a local MTA and not also with >> a remote SMTP server? >> > > You can use remote SMTP server too, but it's not really easy too : you have > to setup service host and login each time you install reportbug on a server, is copying (or configure) a file, /etc/reportbug.conf, a problem when creating a new server, that's not done so often and usually requires a huge amount of other steps? > and remember the password (password often choosen by your FAI) each time you > will use reportbug. then set the right permission on the config file and use smtppasswd (man reportbug.conf for more info). You can also save the output from reportbug on a file and send the report from another machine.
