Sadly we cannot know precisely the reason of the failure: too much
things can go wrong, and it's not the task of reportbug to go deeper
at finding them.

Here it clearly specify it's BTS (and we do connect with it via HTTP
downloading HTML webpages), and I believed the bug report was about
MTA connection failure.
