QA:Testcase ABRT Mailx plugin

Description

This test case tests the functionality of the ABRT feature using the Mailx plugin.

How to test

1. Ensure you have the plugin installed with the command su -c 'yum install abrt-plugin-mailx'
2. Edit /etc/abrt/abrt.conf to activate the Mailx plugin. A sample config is noted below

...
CCpp = Mailx, Bugzilla, Logger
Python = Mailx, Bugzilla, Logger
...

1. Edit /etc/abrt/plugins/Mailx.conf and make sure the configuration is valid. The default configuration noted below should work. Only change the EmailTo address to a public address that would require forwarding through a real SMTP server if you have the 'mailx' configuration set so that such mails are correctly handled.

# Configuration to Email reporter plugin
Enabled = yes

# In abrt.conf, plugin takes one parameter: subject (in "" if you need to embed spaces).
# If it isn't specified, then a default subject is taken from this file
Subject = "[abrt] crash report"

# Your Email
EmailFrom = user@localhost

# Email To
EmailTo = root@localhost

# Warning! enabling this may cause sending a lot of MB via email
SendBinaryData = no

1. Restart ABRT with the commandsu -c 'service abrt restart'
2. Make sure the sendmail service is running with the command su -c 'service sendmail start' (or, if you use a different MTA, ensure it is running)
3. Ensure that the abrt and abrt-applet processes are both running
4. Kill a running process with the command kill -SIGSEGV (pid). It must be a process that is part of a signed Fedora package
5. Click on the panel applet to start abrt-gui
6. Select the entry matching the recently crashed application, click Report, choose Mailx reporter
7. At the report window, click Send

Expected Results

1. A mail reporting the crash should be sent to the email address specified in /etc/abrt/plugins/Mailx.conf. If you left this set to root@localhost, you should be able to see the mail in the file /var/spool/mail/root in a default Fedora setup or via command mail as a root.
