- Bugzero Inbound Email Perl Program on Unix/Linux
-
- For Bugzero email management, this perl program (bugzero_email.pl) is a push method
- and is preferred to the mailbox daemon method on Windows.
-
- Here are the steps to setup (on Linux box running sendmail):
-
- 1. For each project that email submission is desired, add a mail alias:
- mailbox_projectX: "| bugzero_email.pl projectX"
- Note that, bugzero_email.pl requires an argument, prejectX, and which
- has to be an existing project_id in Bugzero.
- A real pop3 mail account is not required, only an alias is required.
-
- 2. Optionally, an assignable can be added as the second argument of the program:
- mailbox_projectX_assigableX: "| bugzero_email.pl projectX assignableX"
- such that assignableX is set as the assignable of the issue. Without it specified,
- the default assignable is set. The issue is assigned to a person based on
- the assignable. This can be used as a routing purpose.
-
- 3. Add bugzero_email.pl to /etc/smrsh/
- (so that sendmail can execute it)
-
- 4. Do 'chmod +x bugzero_email.pl' and edit the file by modifying $host to point
- it to the correct url where Bugzero is running
- Note that, even for port 80, you still need put it there.
