Duplicated RT reply

RT Users
1

Guys, we have some problem with duplicated ticket reply:

here is how we reproduce problem:

Situation 1, no duplicated reply:

  1. User A created new ticket without CC anyone within the email send to helpdesk@domain.com
  2. when User A reply same ticket by email (which reply to helpdesk@domain.com), he could CC anyone he wants and the ticket itself didn’t put those “CC” peoples into record

Situation 2, duplicated reply:

  1. User B created new ticket with CC Thomas@domain.com within the email send to helpdesk@domain.com
  2. when User B reply same ticket by email (which reply to helpdesk@domain.com), he CC Thomas@domain.com on the reply email
  3. as because the first ticket creation, CC to Thomas@domain.com being recorded into ticket, RT will send first email base on CC list itself, which contain Thomas@domain.com ; Then as User B also CC to Thomas@domain.com on the reply.

that means Thomas is receiving two emails, first is from RT, second is from User B CC. One from RT with from “User B via RT”, and another one is from “User B”

how do you guys avoid this kind of email duplication? Thanks.

If you use ParseNewMessageForTicketCcs then you should train your
users not to use reply all feature in MUAs as every user who was cced
in the original mail will be notified with his follow up. If users use
“reply all” then third parties notified twice and they can reply to
direct mail only replying to sender and message will go behind RT. In
this case you loose track of the conversation.
