NAME

       reporter-mailx - Sends contents of a problem directory via email.

SYNOPSIS

       reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified
       recipient.

       Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables.

   Configuration file
       Configuration file contains entries in a format "Option = Value".

       The options are:

       Subject
	   The subject of the email message.

       EmailFrom
	   The sender of the email message.

       EmailTo
	   The recipient of the email message.

       SendBinaryData
	   Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large.

   Integration with ABRT events
       reporter-mailx can be used as a reporter, to allow users report problems via email when they decide to do it. This usage is pre-configured
       in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:

	   EVENT=report_Mailx	   reporter-mailx

       It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file
       to run the tool on the post-create event:

	   EVENT=post-create	   reporter-mailx

OPTIONS

       -d DIR
	   Path to problem directory.

       -c CONFFILE
	   Path to configuration file. When used in ABRT event system, the file contains site-wide configuration. Users can change the values via
	   environment variables.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Environment variables take precedence over values provided in the configuration file.

       Mailx_Subject
	   Subject of the email message.

       Mailx_EmailFrom
	   Sender of the email message.

       Mailx_EmailTo
	   Recipient of the email message. If nor the environment variable nor the corresponding option is defined, the message is send to
	   "root@localhost".

       Mailx_SendBinaryData
	   Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email.
