For the record: I remember the first time I tried to send a bug report
at my old institute on a GNU/Linux machine. The result was a mail with
something like a "funny" mail-host-not-set-so-tickle-me or something
somewhere, leading to a a phone call from IT asking what I could
possibly be doing. So at least I think the new behavior is better.
