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:
Installation:
-Copy the files
- bugmail_help.html
- bug_email.pl
-to your bugzilla-directory, where all your bugzilla cgi-files reside.
-
Next is to add a user who receives the bugmails, e. g. bugmail. Create a
mail account and a home directory for the user.
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.
+
Customation:
There are some values inside the script which need to be customized for your
description of the bug.
