Welcome!
sendmail(8) will already be configured for sending mail from one account to another within the
same system, however, this is not a requirement for sending bug reports.
The point of using
sendbug(1) is to fill in the existing template to create as
complete a report as possible which will be more useful to the developers. The template can be saved as text & mailed from a different system and/or mail system if this is more convenient.
Completeness is key. It will help you in articulating your findings, & it will help developers discern root causes. More information on what information is useful can be found at the following:
