Hoi,
Mail problems are among the most commonly reported problems with
pbpBugTracker today. I've written a sort of test page to simplify
finding out what switches and options to use in htmlMimeMail to get the
mails out on your system. (I've not had any problems with the mail
functions myself and maybe not too many of you neither, but I still
thought that this could make things simpler for some)
To try the new page: Drop mailtest.php in the phpbt/admin/ directory and
mailtest.html in phpbt/templates/default/admin/ directory. Log in as an
administrator and go to mailtest.php. Fill in any options you like and
generate the code. If you like what you see you can run it, and
hopefully send a test mail.
Not everything testable on the page have configure options in phpBT yet,
but I plan to make defines (or database entries) for the names in all
capitals. Actually, some part cannot be done with htmlMimeMail either.
You can, for instance, not send non-Mime mail with htmlMimeMail ;-)
Let me know what you think about the idea. Whether it should be offered
by the installer or as an administration page. Should it be extended to
also test 'mail', PHPMailer, and the Pear Mail package? It would
probably be easy enough to make phpBugTracker use which ever you like,
but would anyone care to change mail package if what was offered at
first "just worked"?
