Details

On my local system (running Fedora Core 1), I have no /usr/lib/sendmail, only /usr/sbin/sendmail. (This is probably related to the fact that I removed sendmail and now use postfix.) In this situation, on today's cvs-tip, createaccount.cgi fails to throw any warning to the user that their account-creation email wasn't sent, though it notes a failure in the apache error log. It should probably ThrowCodeError either from BugMail.pm or from createaccount.cgi. -M
the checkin on bug 59351 causes this to 'die' instead of going silently... but that's not exactly friendly to the user. We should ThrowCodeError instead.

Summary: createaccount.cgi should throw an error if there's no /usr/lib/sendmail → Bugzilla should ThrowCodeError if there's no /usr/lib/sendmail
Target Milestone: --- → Bugzilla 2.20
the 'die' part of MessageToMTA has been removed by bug 277437. I don't think we need ThrowCodeError here anymore.
