Email aliases

Hi,

Is there any way to tell rt that a group of email addresses are all really the
same user? For example, I want email from Jim@Smith.org and
JSmith123@hotmail.com to both be recognized as email from user JSmith in rt.

Alternatively, is there any way to tell rt that a group of domains are all
equivalent? For example, mail from anyuser@foo.com is the same as mail from
anyuser@mail.foo.com?

I suppose I could write a filter to alter the email headers before they make
their way into rt, but I was hoping that maybe somebody else has already come up
with a better solution for this.

Thanks,
-Dan

on a somewhat related note, is there a way to block auto user creation
for certain domains? or only allow for certain domains? People have
added random@someother.com as cc’s to tickets when I only want
users@outdomain.com to work.

Have you read the FAQ? The RT FAQ Manager lives at http://fsck.com/rtfm

You can do both in your MTA. I would preformat/change an email address
before it touches RT. Postfix has a UCE feature which can trigger a
rewrite rule.

And block is quite easy :slight_smile:

It’s an option in the config file, read the comments or the docs.
