Hard to do when all your data is chilling in oblivion.
- bestham 1y agoIt doesn’t have to be reproduce with real data.
- nehal3m 1y agoThen the developers can do it
- PetitPrince 1y agoSo you expect the developer to create data ex-nihilo for a bug they don't know how to trigger ?
- nehal3m 1y agoI explicitly do not, which is why my first response spells out that it’s hard to reproduce a bug when all your data is gone. If it is the case that the bug can be reproduced without user data (as suggested by the person I responded to, not me), then the developers should be able to do that better than users can.

- thundarr 1y agoYou can take snapshots of the VM with the mail server. When the bug happens, identify the snapshot. Bingo.
- nehal3m 1y agoYou’re assuming users affected by this bug have control over the VM running their mail server. I won’t argue that it can’t be done, but it’s probably harder than we think.
