I tried to send a bug report using the Bug Buddy on Ubuntu. But it asks me for a sendmail path to send the mail to the developers. What should this path be? Also, when I saved this report as a file so that it could be sent later manually via mail, I realized that the size of that file is 4 MB!!!

Well, if it was a backtrace or something... But 4 MB is way too large.
As for sendmail, it's usually /usr/sbin/sendmail or something similar. Could be /usr/bin/sendmail too. But that means it's using your local SMTP server. Are you running an SMTP server?
See if there are any settings available that allow you to use a different SMTP server, like smtp.gmail.com perhaps?

I tried /usr/bin/sendmail didn't work, will try /usr/sbin/sendmail. No, I am not running an SMTP server. In fact, sendmail was not even installed by default. I had to install and then try but no luck!

I don't think that is allowed. It only gives me two options.. 1. Send directly using local sendmail. 2. Save the report to a file so that I can mail it manually.
Any more suggestions are welcome. I can help the Ubuntu community only through the bug reports. I have tried looking up the Ubuntu Wiki and also tried Google but did not find anything relevant to this.
Also, how do I get an SMTP server working for this purpose?

Ubuntu comes with postfix. Most probably you have already installed it. It also installs a binary, /usr/sbin/sendmail as a Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface.

Maybe postfix is already installed. You dont have to install sendmail, just pop in that ubuntu setup CD and install postfix otherwise.
