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:

   yum install abrt-plugin-mailx

2. Edit /etc/abrt/abrt.conf to enable and activate the Mailx plugin. A sample config is noted below

   ...

   EnabledPlugins = Mailx, SQLite3, CCpp, Logger, Kerneloops, KerneloopsScanner, KerneloopsReporter, Bugzilla, Python

   ...

   CCpp = Mailx, Bugzilla, Logger

   Python = Mailx, Bugzilla, Logger

   ...

3. 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

   # Your Email

   EmailFrom = user@localhost

   # Email To

   EmailTo = root@localhost

   # Warning! enabling this may cause sending a lot of MB via email

   SendBinaryData = no

4. Restart ABRT:

   # service abrt restart

5. Make sure sendmail service is running:

   # service sendmail start

6. Ensure that the abrt and abrt-applet processes are both running
7. Kill a running process: kill -SIGSEGV (pid). It must be a process that is part of a signed Fedora package
8. Click on the panel applet to start abrt-gui
9. Select the entry matching the recently crashed application, click Report
10. 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.
