When you first run it, it will ask you about some configuration parameters that you have to provide. After that, when you end a report, it will ask you for the password to authenticate against your smtp server. You know a report has been properly sent once you receive an ACK e-mail from Debian BTS with a link to your bug report. > I configure it with standard, gtk2, I say yes when asked if reportbug > will often have direct internet access, I use this email adress (which > works fine with Icedove), I say I don't have any MTA, I use smtp.free.fr > as the smtp host and dagecko as the user name; no encryption, no proxy > (it is the exact same configuration that for Icedove). That's okay, the same goes for my Gmail e-mail address. Anyway, in Squeze there is no question about > When it doesn't crash after the found reported bugs, it fails to send > the email. It says server AUTH not supported by the server. Ah, maybe is that your e-mail server provider does not use "smtp auth" but a different authentication method (e.g., pop3 before smtp?) :-? > It is the same if I uncomment the last 3 options in ~/.reportbugrc. > > What should I do ? Check your e-mail account setup and your e-mail server capabilities. > For now, I will report bugs by email.
