Description

For the BugZilla migration, a working e-mail connectivity needs to be put in place
In other words: BugZilla must be able to send out e-mail
Usually this works via the local sendmail command, but a testing before is much desired because of ticket #756

Testing against our 2nd test install (the MySQL-backed one), email for new account creation works correctly, so considering this feature now done.

Re-opening that, I missed to add one question:
Did you try to mail a couple of recipients, ideally with different mail providers, in parallel? Testing with 5-10 people would be fine - testing with just one recipient might render the resultsa bit invalid ;-)
My fault I didn't mention this before, but something to have a look at; sometimes individual ISPs are touchy when a malconfiguration exists, so we should spot that early in the process

Roger.
I assembled a list of a bunch of different people on different domains (and hopefully different setups). Here are the results: (empty brackets mean I haven't been able to get results yet)
  • [ ] jmadero's gmail
  • [rec'd] Jonathan's eagleeyet.net
  • [rec'd] My Gmail
  • [ ] Rob Snelders @ertain.nl
    * [ ] Cloph (@cup.uni-muenchen.de) no longer used/accessible by cloph, so irrelevant for the test
  • [rec'd] Beluga (suomi24.fi)

All testing to this point has been successful. We can continue testing with larger number of recipients/testers as appropriate.
