User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.4-4GB i686) Build Identifier: Bugzilla doesn't provide (at least, I didn't find it) the possibility of user auto-registration when the user send an e-mail with a bug notification. I need to have the following Bugzilla behaviour: 1. An user send an e-mail: support@foo.com 2. User is autoregistered. 3. User bug is always accepted (I don't want it to be rejected). Why do I need this? I want to simplify user/Bugzilla e-mail interface very much. I want that the user don't receive estrange messages about permissions (they are annoying for him). I want that the user can send bug e-mail notification _always_. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. This is a Bugzilla improvement. I'll send now a script that can be used to auto-register users.
This file should be used in .procmailrc of e-mail account in the Bugzilla server. The way to use this is: :0 wc: $LOCK |/home/bugzilla/bugzilla_register.pl >> /home/bugzilla/bugzilla_register.log This line should be added at the beginning of .procmailrc file.
Two packages are needed: - mimedecode: used to convert "From:" header name. - curl: used to access createaccount.cgi. This is a initial idea. Of course, Perl modules can be used. For example, in Debian libwww-curl-perl package (WWW::curl perl module) can be used. The script should be improved but this is the first implementation attempt.

In order to be able to use this code, it's needed to have the license header at the beginning of the file. If you are the author of the code, could you release it under the MPL license - http://mozilla.org/MPL/ - so we could eventually integrate it into the CVS?

Vlad: Yes. This small piece of code was written by me. :-) I have released it under the MPL license as you requested me. I have documented the code too.
