User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Bugzilla-2.17.7
I have written a module that allows the user of none SENDMAIL platform configure
and use mail easily in bugzilla-2.17.x. It retaines the SENDMAIL and extends
the mail to SMTP and SMT_auth. It is in written in perl and uses Net-SMTP & Net-
SMTP_auth from CPAN/ASPN. The configuration is done by editing the module
(rather simple). All the files that need to be modified are included in the
attachement. There is also a simple perl program for verifying the mail
configuration outside of bugzilla. It also has flags for turning on debugging
in case of problems.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.follow the instruction included in the attachement
2.
3.
Actual Results:
mail worked on WIN32 platform
Expected Results:
exactly what I expected

I appreciate the offer to contribute, but we're about to land a patch which
uses Net::SMTP for everything and bypasses the need for a local sendmail
altogether (as well as rewriting a significant chunk of our mail handling
procedures). See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84876
On the other hand, that *will* most-likely be landing on the trunk after we
branch for 2.18 (so it would effectively be first available in 2.19.1), so
what you're written still might be useful for folks installing 2.18 on
Win32. What I would suggest is to file a bug for it and attach the files.
It's very likely that it won't get committed, since the situation is
already being dealt with, but we can certainly point at it in the win32
docs and say "here, this patch might help you out until then".

As mentioned in the quoted email, we already have code to deal with this in what
will soon be version 2.20, so we won't be using this. Thanks for contributing
though!
