We need to use another perl module Email::Send::SMTP::TLS.
First step would be to install Email::Send::SMTP::TLS from CPAN. use following steps to do so :
compiling from source
Download source from HERE and execute following commands
Once Email:Send::SMTP::TLS is installed, BugZilla should have SMTP::TLS method to send alerts. This can be verified by logging in as admin to BugZilla and going to Administration -> Parameters -> Email
Now we need tweak BugZilla code. carefully execute following instructions and don't forget to backup files before you modify.
Go to your BugZilla installation directory and execute following command
Search for following code( should be on line # 57)
search for following if block
Login as administrator to Bugzilla and go to Administration -> Parameters -> Email and do following settings
1. Select SMTP::TLS as mail_delivery_method

- using CPAN SHELL Lanch CPAN shell as follows
perl -MCPAN -e shelland then on CPAN Shell execute following command
cpan> install Email::Send::SMTP::TLScpan shell might ask you to install additional modules, install them.
tar zxvf Email-Send-SMTP-TLS-0.03.tar.gz cd Email-Send-SMTP-TLS-0.03 ./configure make make install
Go to your BugZilla installation directory and execute following command
cd BugzillaOpen Mailer.pm file.
Search for following code( should be on line # 57)
sub MessageToMTA {
add following line after it
my ($smtp_server,$smtp_port);Thanks to Dilip, Sosaic, for pointing out that i forgot to declare above vars
search for following if block
if ($method eq "SMTP") {
and change it to
if ($method eq "SMTP" || $method eq "SMTP::TLS") {
($smtp_server,$smtp_port) = split /:/,Bugzilla->params->{"smtpserver"};
push @args,
Host => $smtp_server,
User => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_username"},
Password => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_password"},
Hello => $hostname,
Debug => Bugzilla->params->{'smtp_debug'};
push @args, Port => $smtp_port if($smtp_port);
}
Now we need to do settings in bugzilla parameters.Login as administrator to Bugzilla and go to Administration -> Parameters -> Email and do following settings
1. Select SMTP::TLS as mail_delivery_method
