Bug Description

From the requestsync man page:

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
       REQUESTSYNC_SMTP_SERVER
              Set which SMTP server to use when sending mail. If unspecified this defaults to fiordland.ubuntu.com.

It doesn't. By default it looks up the MX record for launchpad.net and connects to that (which used to be fiordlan, but is no longer).

Heh. Takes me longer to type my pgp passphrase than request a sync, but

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * doc/requestsync.1: Correct default value for REQUESTSYNC_SMTP_SERVER
    (LP: #844992)
  * import-bug-from-debian: Bugs are filed against source packages in Ubuntu.
    (LP: #844734)
  * Debian source publication records are all Published now, not pending
    (LP: #845487)
  * requestsync:
    - Add nice error messages to gpg-signing code, rather than simple
      assertions (LP: #537288)
    - Extract current Ubuntu delta from changelog entries and provide for
      editing (LP: #547925)
  * submittodebian:
    - Don't parse the entire changelog, to avoid bumping into past illegal
      version numbers (LP: #727314)
    - Iterate over changelog blocks rather than using Changelog's private
      _blocks list.
  * LP: #806633:
    - ubuntutools.update_maintainer: Don't use strict changelog parsing
    - sponsor-patch: Perform strict validation on the first changelog entry.
  * setup-packaging-environment:
    - Software Sources isn't on the Administration menu, post Gnome 2
      (LP: #841975)
    - Use apt-get rather than aptitude.
  * Removed get-build-deps, mk-build-deps -ir is equivalent (LP: #158108)
  * ubuntutools.archive:
    - Add quiet option to silence downloading.
    - Use wget-style progress bar (fixed width) (LP: #845787)
  * Bump python-debian B-D and Depends to 0.1.20 for unicode Changelog
    reading.
  * backportpackage: Use absolute path of workdir when test-building.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * syncpackage: Fix typo.

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * ubuntutools/requestsync: Follow PEP 8 naming conventions.
