==I'm evaluating/testing Bugzilla, and don't want it to send email to anyone but me. How do I do itstop email entirely for one user?==To disable email,set the mail_delivery_method parameter to none (2.20 and later), or $enableSendMailparameter to '0' in either BugMail.pm (2.18 and later)or processmail (up to 2.16.x).
== I want whineatnews.pl to whine at something other than new and reopened bugs. How do I do it?==For older versions of Bugzilla,you may be able to apply Klaas Freitag's patch for "whineatassigned",which can be found in[https://bugzilla.mozilla.orgm evaluating/show_bug.cgi?id=6679 bug 6679].Note that this patch was made in 2000,so it may take some work to apply cleanly to any releases of testing Bugzillanewer than that, but you can use and don't want it as a starting point. An updated (and much-expanded) version of this functionalityis due to be released as part of Bugzilla 2.20;see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185090 bug 185090]for the discussion, and for more up-send email to-date patches if you just can't waitanyone. ==How do I set up the email interface to submit/change bugs via email?==On older versions, you can find an updated README.mailif file in the contrib/ directory of your Bugzilla distribution that walks you through the setup. On Version 3.0.x, read [http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.0/html/api/email_in.html this API documentation] about using email_in.pl. the script receives a message file as a command line parameter, and processes do it. ==Email takes FOREVER to reach me from Bugzilla -- it's extremely slow. What gives?==If you are using sendmail, try enabling sendmailnow in editparams.cgi.For earlier versions of sendmail,one could achieve significant performance improvement in the UI(at the cost of delaying the sending of mail) by setting this parameter to off.Sites with sendmail version 8.12 (or higher) should leave this on,as they will not see any performance benefit. If you are using an alternate[http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/glossary.html#gloss-mta MTA],make sure the options given in Bugzilla/BugMail.pm and any other placewhere sendmail is called are correct for your MTA. ==How come email from Bugzilla changes never reaches me?==Double-check that you have not turned off email in your user preferences.Confirm that Bugzilla is able to send email by visiting the "Log In" linkof your Bugzilla installation and clicking the "Submit Request" buttonafter entering your email address. If you never receive mail from Bugzilla,chances are you do not have sendmail in "/usr/lib/sendmail".Ensure sendmail lives in, or is symlinked to, "/usr/lib/sendmail". If you are using an MTA other than sendmailthe sendmailnow param must be set to on or no mail will be sent.
Go to Administration > Parameters. In the "Email" section of the parameters, set <code>mail_delivery_method</code> to "Test". Then all emails will go to a file on the disk (<code>data/mailer.testfile</code> in the Bugzilla directory) instead of being sent out.
