There are programs that use:

        SMTPSERVER

if it exists [1]. I suggest:

        - Use  BZR_SMTP_SERVER if defined
        - If not, use SMTPSERVER if defined
        - Else, notify user that manual setup is needed.

[1]
- Perl programs and libraries use it. E.g. Email::Send::SMTP::Auth.pm
- Emacs uses it
- Some SMTP client programs that forward mail to smarthost are known
  to use it.  (Can't check which, because my other PC is under repair)
