There was an error sending email from "bugzilla-daemon" to "abc@xyz.com": no sender

Question

I'd like to research about bugzilla. So I use bugzilla-5.0 to setup my bugzilla in local VM. But When I tried to create a bug or comment something in bugzilla. It noticed that: There was an error sending email from "bugzilla-daemon" to "abc@xyz.com": no sender.

Although I configured mail_delivery_methos is "Sendmail" in Administrator/Email/mail_delivery_method and mailfrom is "bugzilla-daemon". But It was failed.

Does anybody have any idea for that problem?

'mail_delivery_method' => '',

and add (this fileds may be blank initialy)

'smtp_password' => 'your password'

'smtp_username' => 'admin email'

Answer 2

Bugzilla 5.0.2 in centos
Had same issue, but got solved by following steps

1. locate 'params.json'.
In my case @ '/var/www/html/bugzilla/data/params.json'.

2. find and change to,
"mail_delivery_method" : "SMTP",
"mailfrom" :"mail-id given while install",
"maintainer" : "mail-id given while install"

DONE

Answer 3

Through administrator menu, select Parameters, 'Email'. Change input field for'mailfrom' to a valid email-address.

Answer 4

It started working for me when I changed the sender from "bugzilla-daemon" to a fully qualified address (eg bugzilla-daemon@my.domain.com).
