Email Server for Bugzilla on Windows - windows

I have Bugzilla 4.0 installed on my Windows machine but I haven't been able to get an email server to work. Does anyone know what the easiest way is to get the email server work?
I found NTsendmail and I have that in my perl/lib directory but I'm not entirely sure how to configure bugzilla to use it.
Is there someway I could use the gmail smtp server?
Cheers,
Steiny

Starting with Bugzilla 4.4, Gmail SMTP is supported natively, but a patch can be applied for Bugzilla 4.2 or previous versions.

Personally, I am very happy with hMailServer on Windows. I'm using it on all of our public web servers to send out e-mails from my ASP.NET applications.

xampp emailing function (google smtp no longer works)

while looking at past questions, it seems like if I wanted to mail from localhost I would be able to use a gmail account through google's smtp service. However as of may 2022 it is no longer possible for external apps to use my google account: 1
Seemed like all information online was focused on using google's smtp on xampp, so I was wondering if anyone had a updated method they used for emailing from localhost?
Thanks in advance!

Redemption standalone MAPI Connect to Outlook 365 / O365

There is a server with no Outlook client installed and installing it is not an option.
We'd like to access an outlook 365 mailbox with redemption.
I installed the standalone MAPI object(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42040).
Logging in on the mailbox works, using:
"LogonHostedExchangeMailbox(ThisIsTheAddress#client.com,ThisIsTheAddress#client.com,ThisIsThePassWord)"
After this, the 'LoggedOn' variable on the redemption session returns true.
However, when I try to use 'GetDefaultFolder' I get an error (MAPI_E_VERSION)
I can loop over the stores. But again: when I use 'GetDefaultFolder' on a store, I get the error again.
I just need to access the mails in the inbox and replace them to a subfolder.
I even tried making a profile using MFCMapi, but that didn't seem to work or I did something wrong.
Anyone got this to work? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
The latest versions of Exchange explicitly refuse a connection from the standalone version of MAPI.

how to set up a standalone yubikey otp validation server in windows?

I want to set up a standalone yubikey otp validation server in windows.Can anyone please help me with the steps I can follow in windows.
Thanks.
I have just written a standalone validation server in Python with Django. I did not test it on Windows, but given the dependencies it requires, there shouldn't be any problem.
The official YubiKey Validation Server (YK-VAL) installation steps apply to any GNU/Linux-like system and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is recommended. A Windows setup guide is not available.
Instead of setting up your own validation server, you could use Yubico's YubiCloud web service for verifying OTPs.
Additionally, if you are looking for an OATH certified TOTP and/or HOTP validation server you can find a list on the OATH site.
Edit:
There is a guide for Self-hosted OTP validation available. But again, the guide uses Ubuntu as a platform, not windows.

Bugzilla Installation + Windows 7 + sendmail

We have installed a Bugzila 4.0 on Windows 7 Local Machine. After the installation we are not able to create any New Account as the New Account sends a email to the email id being provided for the user. So we installed Sendmail for Windows and configured bugzilla to use Sendmail for sending mails via bugzilla. Now whenever we are trying to send emails via bugzilla on new account creation we are getting below mentioned error:
"error when closing pipe to /usr/lib/sendmail.exe: Inappropriate I/O control operation"
Request you to please guide us if we are missing any configuration on Bugzilla or if there is any other workaround to send mail via bugzilla on local machine.
Thanks in Advance.

Are you using http://www.glob.com.au/sendmail/ ?
If answer is yes, I think you should also download and install: https://metacpan.org/pod/App::TLSMe
Try to run your checksetup.pl to see if need any other prerequisite.

SMTP local server in windows 7? (running IIS7)

I'm trying to send a mail via python code via local SMTP server (localhost, port 25) in Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I'm obviously getting the irritating
[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
message, because I don't have any SMTP server installed. Because of Microsofts' ambigious documentation I thought that I can use the Server manager tool to install the local SMTP service, only to discover that it doesn't work on Windows 7.
I've read here in other threads that Windows 7 does not include the SMTP service anymore, so it doesn't have a local SMTP server. All threads directed the questioners to other, 3rd party SMTP services. The question is: is there any other way of configuring a local SMTP server yet? Or is it still an open issue, and I have no choice but to use a 3rd party software?
This response is a little late, but might help the next person...
No, Windows 7 does not come with an SMTP server. Supposedly Remote Server Administration tools includes an SMTP server, but according to this link, it does not work.
Some options for sending email from a Windows 7 machine are:
For development purposes, I like smtp4dev https://github.com/rnwood/smtp4dev. It is open source and emulates a SMTP server. However instead of actually sending the email, it keeps in in an app on the system tray. Great for making sure you don't accidentally SPAM your users.
If you are planning to send emails out for real, I would advise using a SMTP server with a static IP address as most spam filters dislike dynamic addresses and will block the email.
I have not used it, but if you must send email from your local Windows machine and am not worried about SPAM filters, Free SMTP Server from www.softstack.com seems pretty popular.
