Package: reportbug
Version: 3.31
Severity: normal
My company's mail server (mail.kdab.net, a cyrus 2.x installation) does
not offer AUTH until the client has issued STARTTLS. reportbug apparently
only evaluates the server capabilities on EHLO, not after STARTTLS, as is
mandated by the specification.
The result: reportbug exits with "your server doesn't support AUTH".

the correct sequence is
1. ehlo
1.1 if fails, helo
2. starttls
3. ehlo
3.1 if fails, helo

Indeed, that's what documentation says, therefore I'm closing this bug
report - please reopen if it still applies to a recent version of
reportbug.
