304490 - Bugzilla does not successfully send e-mail through Mail::Mailer on Windows Systems

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 302418

(Bugzilla :: Email Notifications, defect)

Description

[Troy D. Tyson, II]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When using 2.20rc2 on a Windows 2000 System, Bugzilla does not successfully send
mail through smtp.  It acts as if it sent the mail, but the mail is never
delivered.  As a work around, I have replaced the code in
Bugzilla::BugMail::MessageToMTA with the following piece of code:
   my ($msg) = (@_);
   open(SENDMAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i") ||
      die "Can't open sendmail";

   print SENDMAIL trim($msg) . "\n";
   close SENDMAIL;

This is NOT the best way to accomplish this, but it does still work as a stop gap.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Apache Web Server, ActiveState Perl 5.8.x, Bugzilla 2.20rc2
2. Modify a bug
3. Commit

Actual Results:  
Message displays saying that the e-mail has been delivered.  However, message is
never sent.

Expected Results:  
Received e-mail about the change.

glob, is that a dupe of bug 302418?

Comment 2

[:glob ✱]

yes, this is a duplicate.

however for what it's worth i haven't encountered any issues with Mail::Mailer's
smtp support on windows.  there's common system problems (antivirus blocking
port 25, smtp server issues) but the module itself functions.
