277753 - Creating user accounts fails to send email is not fixed with suggestion for Windows

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: User Accounts, defect)

Description

[Allistair Crossley]

I have changed Bugmail.pm to use the Net:SMTP method for sending email as 
mentioned in the notes for Bugzilla but this works only for bug emails and not 
for new user emails which prints the following error when creating a new account

createaccount.cgi: print() on closed filehandle SENDMAIL at CGI.pl line 227

The user account is however, created. Is this a Bugzilla problem or do I need 
to alter some other aspect?

glob, can you confirm this bug?

Comment 2

[:glob ✱]

nope, in 2.18 there's only one occurance of sendmail:

byron@tman /cygdrive/e/bugzilla/2.18-stable
$ grep -lri /usr/lib/sendmail *
Bugzilla/BugMail.pm
contrib/mysqld-watcher.pl
docs/xml/faq.xml
docs/xml/installation.xml

this was fixed by bug 59351, so i suspect the reporter is running a 2.18 release
candidate.

allistair - please upgrade to 2.18.1

I'm not sure if my error is related to this one, but when I try to create an 
user in version 2.20rc1 I get the following error:

Software error:
Undefined subroutine &Bugzilla::User::bz_crypt called 
at Bugzilla/User.pm line 1141.

this was fixed by bug 300336

Reporter, can you still reproduce this problem on 2.18.1 or higher? If not,
please close this bug as WORKSFORME or INVALID.

glob, if the reporter doesn't close the bug himself, I will let you do it. ;)

Hi,

I recently installed Bugzilla and this issue did not reoccur. 

Cheers, Allistair
