| Title | Bugzilla integration doesn't send mail when bugs change through P4DTI |

| Description | Bugzilla sends email notifications when bugs change through normal Bugzilla use. But when bugs change through the P4DTI no notification is sent. Bugzilla has a Perl script called "processmail", which it runs whenever a bug changes. It analyses the bug activity and may send mail to one or more Bugzilla users describing that activity. We don't do this, or emulate it, so Bugzilla bugs will be changed by the replicator without email being sent out. |
| Analysis | We could support this by invoking processmail ourselves. We would have to (a) add code to compute parameters for processmail and invoke it, and (b) add a replicator configuration parameter which locates processmail. Users who want to run the replicator on a different machine from the Bugzilla server can still do that, by copying the processmail script. |
