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 On 3/30/2004 10:17 PM -0800, Shahriar wrote: > After installing bugzilla on WIN32 and trying to get mail to work with my > SMTP with > authentication.

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!
