RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Michal Toman 2012-01-02 09:10:37 UTC 
You need to create a separate config file for mailx (eg. /etc/libreport/events/report_Mailx.conf), specify whatever options you want there and edit mailx_event.conf:
EVENT=report_Mailx      reporter-mailx -c {config_file}
Comment 2 Jiri Moskovcak 2012-01-03 12:43:01 UTC 
abrt 2.0.4-14 which is in rhel6.2 contains that by default, can you please provide output of:

rpm -q abrt

Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk>
Date:   Thu Jan 12 13:30:02 2012 +0100

    reporter-mailx: read /etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf by default

    Package a default mailx.conf with all parameters commented out.
    While at it, expand reporter-mailx --help
Comment 9 Jesse 2012-03-28 20:56:51 UTC 
Hello,

I would like to comment that this is not found in abrt-2.0.4-14.el6.x86_64.

Nor does the mentioned workaround work for this version

Modified /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf.

EVENT=report_Mailx      reporter-mailx -c /etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf

Config /etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf created:

Mailx_EmailFrom = root@<domain>
Mailx_EmailTo = <me>@<domain>

I've tried variations omiting the Mailx_ portion and with/without quotes etc.

Please let me know if I'm missing something and ty for any time devoted to this matter.

- it depends on what do you want to achieve, if you want to use the mailx when you're reporting something manually then your solution should work

- if you want to make abrt to send the mail automatically when the crash happens then the line in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf should be like this:

EVENT=post-create  reporter-mailx -c /etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf

- note the EVENT=post-create part, post-create means right after the crash is detected
- if you're interested in details you can find more detailed description here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Deployment_Guide/#sect-abrt-configuration-events (it takes a while to load, but it will eventually ;))

Hello Jiri,

Ty for the response. :)

I had tried this prior to posting without success.

I even removed in case it did not support comments.

#EVENT=report_Mailx      reporter-mailx -c /etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf
EVENT=post-create       reporter-mailx -c /etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf
