Hiya,

(coolo, didn't you get my mail two weeks ago?)

ksendbugmail uses bugs.kde.org if no other smtp server is specified in the 
email settings configuration. Too bad bko doesn't have anything listening on 
port 25 (or the outside is blocked at least). 

And even worse, the email settings kcontrol module doesn't allow you to 
specify an smtp server anymore, so ksendbugmail will never work unless you 
manually hack .kde/share/config/emaildefaults.

This means, third-party applications using the bugreport dialog with their own 
email address won't ever get a single bugreport.

IMHO, ksendbugmail should never use bugs.kde.org:25 as fallback and should let 
the user specify an smtp server instead.

Too bad about the new strings, but better than breaking all third-parties' 
bugreportings.

Cheers
Carsten Pfeiffer
