245075 - Need a command-line script to send unsent bugmail

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Email Notifications, defect)

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

There is a fair bit of evidence that we're still losing bugmail somewhere...
Until those situations are resolved, we still need a command line program to
send it that can be run from cron on a regular basis.  We used to do this with
"processmail rescanall", but processmail went away, and that job is now done
from the web with sanitycheck.cgi.

We have a script we've been using for this at bugzilla.mozilla.org.  We need to
make sure it gets included with Bugzilla.

Attachment: Doc changes for 2.18 and tip

* New section on sendunsentbugmail.pl
* Changed the comment that the rest of the files in Contrib hadn't been updated
since before 2.16 from a sentence to a WARNING, so people would be less likely
to miss it.
* Re-formatted the rest of the patches.xml file to make it congruent with the
formatting we're trying to work towards in the rest of the docs.

I'm not sure if we should use "USAGE" capitalized. Maybe
<emphasis>Usage</emphasis> or something like that.

Otherwise looks good.
