[So you mean `smtpmail.el'?] AFAIK many (corporate) firewall
configurations (and ISPs) won't allow outgoing connections from
clients on port 25.
Instead of this, we should better work on a simple web based bug
submission form which can be sent to the bugtracker via Emacs' url
library (or emacs-w3m?).
