But this is not a problem in reportbug itself but in the configuration
of the local MTA. There is no right action we can do about it. I'll
try to make it clearer in the documentation and the pre-submit page
for reportbug that the MTA should be set-up and working correctly to
let reportbug do its job.

Kindly,
Sandro
