I don't believe it does require "SendMailPath" as it defaults sensibly. The
"MailTransfer" line is in the supplied config file (and always has been)
so I'm not sure what problem, exactly, you're reporting (nor why it
justifies a Severity: grave bug).

It's correct that the software won't be able to write to its config file
(in the default configuration). This is deliberate, and I do not
consider this a bug. In the rare case that you do need the package to
write its own config file (not needed in normal operation) it is
perfectly possible to adjust the permissions manually.

Please could you give me a bit more information about what exactly you
believe the bug is? For example, is there some situation which the
package should have prevented which has caused the "MailTransfer" line
to be missing, or have you simply removed it from your config file?

Dominic.
