has instructions on how to set up Bugzilla 2.18.4 on Mac OS X. We should at minimum link to it from the docs; better still, we should go through it working out what info is relevant, and folding it in to the main docs.

Better link:

http://paranormalorigin.blogspot.com/2006/01/bugzilla-mail.html

The first is the same article, and the second describes finishing it up by adding sendmail capabilities.

Is this still good for installing 2.22 (I don't notice anything wrong)?

The instructions also say that sendmail is hardcoded to /usr/sbin/sendmail (and that bugzilla will follow a symlink to wherever you happen to have it installed). Is this a security issue(and hence a new bug)? In any case, the location of sendmail should be done by either localconfig or checksetup.

I doubt this is of much use now.
