There are several ways to get Bugzilla to send email. The easiest is to
use Gmail, so we do that here so you have it working. Visit
https://gmail.com and create a new Gmail account for your Bugzilla to use.
Then, open the :guilabel:`Email` section of the Parameters using the link
in the left column, and set the following parameter values:
In order to send bugmail and enable signups for users, you must have:

* A domain that your Bugzilla instance will send mail from.
* An SMTP host

The first is usually the domain or subdomain of your Bugzilla hostname.
You will need to set up MX records for the host or service
at the domain name service provider for that domain, please check with
your email provider's documentation.

The second is a SMTP server you or your organization uses, or a mail
delivery service such as SendGrid or MailGun.

To configure your Bugzilla installation to send mail, open the Email section
of the Parameters using the link in the left column, and set the following values:

* :param:`mail_delivery_method`: :paramval:`SMTP`
* :param:`mailfrom`: :paramval:`new_gmail_address@gmail.com`
* :param:`smtpserver`: :paramval:`smtp.gmail.com:465`
* :param:`smtp_username`: :paramval:`new_gmail_address@gmail.com`
* :param:`smtp_password`: :paramval:`new_gmail_password`
* :param:`mailfrom`: :paramval:`user@domain`
* :param:`smtpserver`: :paramval:`smtp.hostname:465`
* :param:`smtp_username`: :paramval:`username`
* :param:`smtp_password`: :paramval:`password`
* :param:`smtp_ssl`: :paramval:`On`

.. todo::
This may no longer work because Google may treat the account as a
spam relay. An alternative would be a SendGrid or MailGun account.
