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.

Description Michal Toman 2013-03-15 10:17:58 UTC

Description of problem:
On RHEL 7, no e-mails notifications from ABRT are sent to root@localhost by default. After a quick look I found that libreport-plugin-mailx is not installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreport-2.1.1-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Actual results:
libreport-plugin-mailx is missing

Expected results:
libreport-plugin-mailx is installed by default

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2013-03-15 21:41:43 UTC

Is this a regression? There's no guarantee out of the box that root@localhost goes anywhere useful. (Yes, we do it for cron output and other things, but that doesn't make it good.)

Comment 3 Jiri Moskovcak 2013-03-18 08:15:04 UTC

Yes, it's a regression. Is there any meaningful default better than root@localhost?

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2013-03-18 18:12:01 UTC

Not really; but it's worth considering how we set up mail aliases so that goes somewhere useful. The problem is, of course, in many cases that the local mail account *isn't* the right place.

In any case, I've added libreport-plugin-mailx to comps wherever abrt-cli is ; I suspect it was lost when the name change happened from abrt-plugin-mailx.
