-The Bugzilla Mail interface
-===========================
-
-(UPDATE 03/14/00 to better reflect reality by SML)
-
-The Bugzilla Mail interface allows to submit bugs to Bugzilla by email.
-
-The Mail Interface Contribution consists of three files:
-README.Mailif - this readme.
-bug_email.pl - the script
-bugmail_help.html - a user help html site
-
-Installation:
-
-Next is to add a user who receives the bugmails, e. g. bugmail. Create a
-mail account and a home directory for the user.
-
-The mailinterface script bug_email.pl needs to get the mail through stdin.
-I use procmail for that, with the following line in the .procmailrc:
-
-BUGZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/bugzilla
-:0 c
-|(cd $BUGZILLA_HOME/contrib; ./bug_email.pl)
-
-This defines the Bugzilla directory as the variable BUGZILLA_HOME and passes
-all incoming mail to the script after cd'ing into the bugzilla home.
-
-In some cases, it is necessary to alter the headers of incoming email. The
-additional line to procmail :
-
-:0 fhw
-| formail -I "From " -a "From "
-
-fixes many problems.
-
-See bugzilla.procmailrc for a sample procmailrc that works for me (SML) and
-also deals with bugzilla_email_append.pl
-
-Customation:
-
-There are some values inside the script which need to be customized for your
-needs:
-
-1. In sub-routine Reply (search 'sub Reply':
-there is the line
- print MAIL "From: Bugzilla Mailinterface<yourmail\@here.com>\n";
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Fill in your correct mail here. That will make it easy for people to reply
-to the mail.
-
-2. check, if your sendmail resides in /usr/sbin/sendmail, change the path if neccessary.
-Search the script after 'default' - you find some default-Settings for bug
-reports, which are used, if the sender did not send a field for it. The defaults
-should be checked and changed.
-
-That's hopefully all, we will come up with any configuration file or something.
-
-
-If your mail works, your script will insert mails from now on.
-
-The mailinterface supports two commandline switches:
-
-There are two command line switches :
-
--t: Testmode
- The mailinterface does not really insert the bug into the database, but
- writes some debug output to stdout and writes the mail into the file
- bug_email_test.log in the data-dir.
-
--r: restricted mode
- All lines before the first line with a keyword character are skipped.
- In not restricted, default mode, these lines are added to the long
- description of the bug.
