Dear All,
I have configured new queue with ‘IT Support’ and configured want that any emails coming to ithelpdesk@syncoms.co.ukmailto:ithelpdesk@syncoms.co.uk should be fetched into this new queue. The snapshot of the new queue:
[cid:image001.png@01D09D57.3BF06430]
So far, everything is running fine and emails are been received in the ‘general’ queue. Now what do I need to do in order to configure rt such that any emails coming to ithelpdesk@syncoms.co.ukmailto:ithelpdesk@syncoms.co.uk comes in IT Support queue. As per few blogs they are saying to add in /etc/aliases . can you please suggest as what do I need to do - if I have to enter into the /etc/aliases then how my configuration will look like?
At the moment, /etc/aliases is:
[cid:image002.png@01D09D57.3BF06430]
And /etc/fetchmailrc:
[cid:image003.png@01D09D57.3BF06430]
Also, I have tried changing the -queue general to -queue ‘it support’ but it didn’t work. Infact this time the requestor is receiving a mailer demon error message.
Please suggest. Thanks

Hi Rohit,
Since you are using fetchmail to get the mail and deliver it you do not need to modify your aliases.
Your —queue option is incorrect in your fetchmail configuration. Use the name of the queue here. Since it has spaces you’ll have to use quotation marks.
If the sender gets an email back instead of the email being created in the queue make sure you find out what it’s saying back to them. Also make sure you check:
the fetchmail output (try running fetchmail manually in the foreground with verbose output)
the RT log (usually /opt/rt4/var/log/rt.log)
Since this is a newly created queue it could be that everyone simply doesn’t have permission to create tickets in the new queue. Hard to say without more information.

Oops, I should have mentioned you’ll need to use single quotes instead of double quotes for the queue name since you are enclosing the whole command in double quotes.

Thanks for your information –but as per my original post I have already mentioned that I tried –option ‘it support’ with single quotes but it didn’t work too. Though I will check the rt logs in case I can find out something.
Also, please clarify as why we require 2 separate email accounts for correspond & comment. As per my understanding the following should happen:

Problem solved – the issue was I haven’t granted the new queue the everyone rights to create a ticket, hence it was sending a bounce mailer daemon to the requestor.
But, I would still appreciate any one can clarify the reason to create 2 separate emails for correspond and comment.
You don’t need 2 separate emails for those fields. Our instance works fine with the same email in both fields.From: rt-users [mailto:rt-users-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com] On Behalf Of Rohit Gupta

Two sperate emails are usefull two clarify the two roles (Correspond and
Comment a ticket). When you select correspond, an email will be sent two
the requestor and Ccs of the ticket whilst nothing will be sent to the
requestor when using comments. It is usefull if you use a queue to
correspond whith customers for instance and if you want to adds messages
that not concerns your customer. I think that two addresses are needed
if you are not using the RT WebUI but only emails.
Hope it helps

I’m not 100% sure, but I think your ‘Reply Address’ and ‘Comment Address’ need to be different.
To get mail into the “IT Support” queue, you will need to modify fetchmailrc to call rt-mailgate --queue “IT Support” and it should hopefully work.
You don’t need 2 separate emails for those fields. Our instance works
fine with the same email in both fields.
This isn’t a good idea, though it does work. The problem is when
someone records a comment, and it gets sent out just to your company –
but “From” the one address you have set. When some well-meaning person
replies to that mail, it will come into the address RT uses for
correspondence – and then the end-user will get the information that
you intended to be a comment. This is at best confusing, and at worst
horribly embarrassing.
