I’m in a situation where a good number of my supported users have more
than one (valid) email addresses that they use from their workstation.
What is happening is that they submit a request with one address and
then attempt to reply from another. When that fails they open a new
request.
Since I don’t have them time to attempt to stamp out multiple addresses
on every Windows box: I’m trying to pass back a more descriptive error
message than “Permission Denied” to the user.
I’ve spent some time going through the various RT libraries, but as I
don’t have a good understanding of RT’s inner workings: I’ve been unable
to determine which “Permission Denied” message is the correct one to
change.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
TIA,
Matt

Perhaps the question is ‘why are they getting Permission denied’? In the
suggested RT installation, the group ‘Everyone’ has permission to Create
and to Reply to Tickets (to be applied per queue), so it doesn’t matter if
they use an alternative email address (apart from getting a copy back).
This is dealt with in Configuration->Queues->name of queue->Groups .

Hrm, why don’t you allow them to reply from another? It’ll still go
into the same ticket. Just grant the ReplyToTicket privilege to
Everyone. We do that (and CommentOnTicket!) and have never had toes
stepped on because of it.

Unfortunately root/password doesn’t work as a username/password either 
Know any way to fix this? You’re talking about the RT login webpage right?
The fact that i can access the RT system via web means that my mysql database is working correctly right?
Thanks for the help guys, still struggling, but it looks like my blood, sweat, and tears will be worth it!----- Original Message -----

How about making use of CanonicalizeAddress() in config.pm, if
you really don’t want to grant Everyone ReplyToTicket?
