Dec 20 12:14:33 devapptmpl1 abrtd: Email was sent to: root@localhost
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}
abrt 2.0.4-14 which is in rhel6.2 contains that by default, can you please provide output of: rpm -q abrt
Fixed in git: commit 36d4595106c8477e4e1f42a672638677764878ec Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> 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
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.

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 Jesse
