Subject: reportbug fails when port 25 blocked

Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:23:38 +0100

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.41
Followup-For: Bug #468549


On a machine with no smarthost configured, I selected to use the
debian smtp server. However, outgoing port 25 is blocked, resulting in
reportbug failing with the following error:

Submit this report on reportbug (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|?]? y
Connecting to bugs.debian.org via SMTP...
SMTP send failure: (111, 'Connection refused')
Wrote bug report to /tmp/reportbug-reportbug-20080628-22940-UXH7BH


Could reportbug default to using port 465 or 587?

I wonder if this is the same bug as #468549.

While I fully agree to default to port 587 (AFAIK 465 should only be
used with SSL), bugs.d.o should allow submission on port 587 as well.

FWIW, reportbug can already use port 587, at least I could [1]:

Should we clone this bug and reassign the cloned one to bugs.d.o?

I consider #468549 a complete different bug and FWIW reportbug
maintainers seem to consider #468549 not the responsability of
reportbug [2].

Thx, bye,

Hi,
