It looks to me like reportbug still submits bug reports via smtp. /etc/reportbug.conf on my local machine it's set to use "submit", but the man page for reportbug.conf indicates that this means "submission address -- i.e. the email address sub...@bugs.debian.org -- not a submission port over the web. The way I tested this without sending an actual bug report was to set Exim4 via /etc/default/exim4 to QUEUERUNNER='queueonly', restarting Exim4, and creating a bug report. The mail then only gets queued, not sent, so it shows up via 'mailq' and can be removed via 'exim4 -Mrm <message ID>' so that it won't get sent when setting the QUEUERUNNER back to 'combined'. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
