Version: 7.5.3+devuan3

Simon,

Thanks. I have just fixed this by changing to mx.devuan.org as the 
default smtphost.

Version 7.5.3+devuan3 built for ceres.

Package: reportbug
Version: 7.5.3+devuan1
Severity: important

Hi,

When the user answers the --configure questions claiming not to have their
own SMTP server, reportbug configures a default of "reportbug.debian.org".

That host is virtually guaranteed not to forward email to the Devuan bug
tracker, and a quick test verifies that indeed, it doesn't.
