One of the powerful features of BugTracker.NET is its ability to receive an email and treat it as a bug entry. Once it's in the database, you can respond to the email from within BugTracker.NET and your response will be tracked. The apps that receive the emails are btnet_console.exe and btnet_service.exe. Btnet_console.exe and btnet_service.exe are POP3 clients that fetch email and stuff them in the database as bugs. You configure the email accounts on the project pages - you can use a different email account per project. You can also respond to emails from within btnet and the responses are saved.

Btnet_console.exe and btnet_service.exe do the same thing, but one is just a console app and the other is a service. Try running the cosole app first because it is verbose and will help you debug your configuration.

Enter "btnet_console.exe btnet_service.exe.config" when you are in btnet's directory.

Use "installutil.exe" to install btnet_service. I know installutil.exe comes with the .NET SDK. I'm not sure how else to get it or whether it's ok for me to distribute it. Put a copy of your btnet_service.exe.config file, with correct settings, into the c:\folder because Btnet_service.exe looks for its configuration at the hard-coded path of c:\btnet_service.exe.config.

Read the comments in btnet_service.exe.config. Note that one service instance can support multiple websites.

The service communicates with the website via the page insert_bug.aspx. It cannot use windows security.
