+ Summary: Some suggested improvements to the bugzilla system
+ 
+ One minor issue is that one must have cookies enabled in order to submit bug
+ reports. There does not appear to be any documention about this on your site. I
+ like to run with disabled cookies, and I learned the hard way...
+ One more important issue is with the way the Akopia Interchange bugzilla is
+ emailing passwords to new users. It seems that, in your email, the sending
+ domain is configured to be a non-existent one. Therefore, most properly
+ configured smtp servers ( such as mine, for example ) will reject your email
+ outright. This is a problem, since one needs a password to login. I had to
+ temporarily reconfigure my sendmail server in order to get my password.
+ 
+ Here is my suggested fix:
+ If you do not want to receive return email at the sending account, you could set
+ up a virtual user or its' equivalent, and link it to /dev/null. Or you could us
+ a fake username at your real domain.
+ 
+ Here is the output of my mail log for your reference:
+ 
+ Mar 13 14:21:05 kong sendmail[25958]: f2DJL5w25958: ruleset=check_mail,
+ arg1=<nobody@localhost.akopia.com>, relay=empty.minivend.com [205.133.134.109]
+ (may be forged), reject=501 5.1.8 <nobody@localhost.akopia.com>... Domain of
+ sender address nobody@localhost.akopia.com does not exist
