I do not know what a Google security profile is and have no intention
of finding out. I do not want one but presumably you do. How do you
know reportbug is being labelled as anything by Google? If your mail
is not being relayed by Google it is between you and them and nothing
to do with reportbug. A command to use for testing has been given.

Anyway, I followed the "Using GMail's SMTP Server" section on the wiki
to the letter and had no problem sending a report to the BTS. It was
done with complete security.

That is the second test of the Google mail system I have done. Your
setup at Google may be different from mine. That is where you want to
look. It is you that have to change; don't expect Google to.
