8961 - Non-stop email bug after change password error

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect, P3)

Description

[scurry]

One of my users accidentally left a character out of his email address when
completing the changepassword form. He had successfully logged in in order to be
able to reach the changepassword page but made the error when attempting to
change the password itself.

He now receives an email every 2-5 minutes informing him of the password! I
can't stop it and am frantically searching for the "loop". Any ideas? :)

I have no clue.  As far as I know, there is no code generating password mail in
any place except as the direct result of viewing a web page.  So, I'd want to
point the finger at the mail system and not at Bugzilla.  But who knows...

In email, scurry told me:

Done.

It wasn't a bug, it was a very naughty mail server!
