I wanted to call attention to an important change that went out with today's Bugzilla deployment.
We had been suspending the accounts of people whose bugmail was bouncing, and they had to contact the Bugzilla Admins to get their account reactivated. Now if your bugmail bounces, we'll stop sending bugmail, notify you, and let you turn bugmail back on once you address the bounces. I know that this has been an annoyance for many users, and we've spent more time than we've wanted to fixing things for users, so this is a big win. Many thanks to Dave Lawrence (:dkl) for building this feature! -- Emma ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dave Lawrence <dlawre...@mozilla.com> Date: Wed, Feb 26, 2020 at 2:30 PM Subject: happy bmo push day!

Now if your email bounces, instead of not being able to login completely, your email notifications will be temporarily disabled but you will still be able to login. You will see a banner message stating that your email has been disabled with a link to a page where you can turn it back on. The linked page will display the error messages returned from the upstream mail relay and display a form to turn on your email. Please do not enable email if you are not sure the bouncing issue has been resolved. A internal counter will allow you to reactivate your email notifications up to five times in a thirty day period. On the fifth time, your account will be disabled for login and you will need an admin to reactivate the account similar to the process before. This new feature should hopefully help BMO admins to not have to deal with the majority of intermittent email bounce issues and instead allow the user to admin their own account when they happen. The following other changes have been pushed to bugzilla.mozilla.org: https://bugzil.la/1617358 : Extra slash in the "phabricator review requests" link's url on the BMO dashboard https://bugzil.la/1591549 : Hide bugs in dependencies and regression fields from users without access https://bugzil.la/1237874 : File size unit always plural: "1 bytes" https://bugzil.la/1599865 : Bug description is erased during page load, leading to dataloss during Firefox session restore https://bugzil.la/1472757 : Comment field empty after clicking "go back page" https://bugzil.la/1614634 : 13 hours ago wasn't "1 day ago" (tag: https://github.com/mozilla-bteam/bmo/tree/release-20200226.1) _______________________________________________ tools-bmo mailing list tools-...@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/tools-bmo _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
