Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to do that. Bugzilla seems to require a user login (email/pw). All of the documentation also suggests so. The two bugzillas I've worked with (OSDL's and IBM internal) are set up to require a login. You could set up a dummy login account and a default mailing list as the email if needed, would that be sufficient for your needs? From what I can see, it's important to be able to exchange email with the submitter, so having it be a genuine email is useful. Is an anonymous login a showstopper? Is the issue supporting the submitter login accounts? thanks, Nivedita
