I have installed bugzilla 4.0. It's working, however, I am not able to use the feature to send with SMTP with uthentication.
According to the release notes, if you install: Authen::SASL the SMTP::TLS should be available in the mail drop down.

However, in the Parameters->Email – I do not see SMTP:TLS available.
I have installed also the following:
sudo apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl
sudo apt-get install libcrypt-ssleay-perl
as well as:
CPAN: install Net::SMTP::TLS
I don't think any code changes needed in order for this to work, but who knows.
According to Q/A https://serverfault.com/questions/83113/bugzilla-mail-delivery-method-using-tls-for-gmail
I added the line
use Email::Send::SMTP::TLS;
to Mailer.pm file.
That caused a problem

Please advise.
*to note that yesterday I had a feeling that I don't have Bugzilla 4.0 installed 🙂 anyway, I checked, and it is 4.

As an alternative to setting up SMTP on your own server, you can even use Gmail as the preferred SMTP server.
I had an installation of Bugzilla 4.0.2 on a Ubuntu9.10 server running Apache2.2/Perl5.10 and I followed the steps mentioned here
