Email_in.pl expects the user to be able to use an MTA to pipe mail to the script via STDIN.
While this is fine for unix-ish environments where tools like procmail etc. are commonplace, it's more than a bit unwieldy for a Windows environment where things like mboxes and procmail aren't typical.
Ideally email_in.pl should be able to poll a POP/IMAP server for its own mail and process Bugzilla requests from there.

PHP script suitable for contrib which can be adapted to fix this bug
Should be run as a scheduled task. Connects to imap server then pipes the emails to email_in.pl

Hey Greg. You'll probably want to ask somebody specific for review. Details of the whole development process for Bugzilla are here:

Honestly, we generally tend to drop scripts which are not Perl (several scripts have been removed from the bzr repo recently), and so I don't think a PHP script is appropriate here, even in contrib/.

Seconding comment 4.
The script is easily ported to Perl, though. Would it be a contrib/ candidate then?

Sure. Sounds reasonable.

As said in comment 4, Bugzilla is a Perl thing, and so we won't take this PHP script as is. But someone can port it to Perl and put it in contrib/.
