Thank you!

I have a question about reportbug and reportbug.debian.org.

 From a delivery/SPF/DKIM point of view, what should be preferred when 
submitting bugs using a @debian.org account?

Is it OK to use reportbug.debian.org as MTA plus no auth and `From: 
somebody@debian.org`? Or would it be better to go through the 
authenticated submit service `mail-submit.debian.org`?

Regards,

We currently don't reject based on SPF or DKIM. [It may affect the
spamassassin score, but if you're using reportbug it won't matter
because it has enough offsetting scores.]

It's better to do the latter, but you can do the former.
