Ok, so what is the jondo.cante.net host?

reportbug doesn't connect to the MTA... I bet there's a line:

Sending message via /usr/sbin/sendmail...

right after OKing to send the email; so there's also sendmail in the middle.

there is no secret handshake between reportbug and MTA, it uses
sendmail. Given only you face this problem, I can conclude it's
something on your configuration.

you can pass --paranoid option to reportbug so that it will pipe the
message in a pager right before calling sendmail, so you can see what
will be passed to it.
