Email CC function and subject line modification

Blakeley_Stuart-A560 · February 11, 2005, 4:13am

Question is why if I change these $rtname and $CorrespondAddress

Why do they still appear as what was originally assigned ?

Do you have to restart the Web ?, RT? or wot to get it to reload these values.

and Likewise also in initildata:
why don’t changes get reflected in the emails:
ie adding “BLAH BLAH BLAH”

See very bottom for returned email :

These Codes comes from

~rt-3.2.1/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm

$rtname the string that RT will look for in mail messages to

figure out what ticket a new piece of mail belongs to

Your domain name is recommended, so as not to pollute the namespace.

once you start using a given tag, you should probably never change it.

(otherwise, mail for existing tickets won’t get put in the right place

#Set($rtname , “adl.ap.freescale.net”);
Set($rtname , “RT”);

RT is designed such that any mail which already has a ticket-id associated

with it will get to the right place automatically.

$CorrespondAddress and $CommentAddress are the default addresses

that will be listed in From: and Reply-To: headers of correspondence

and comment mail tracked by RT, unless overridden by a queue-specific

address.

#Set($CorrespondAddress , ‘RT_CorrespondAddressNotSet’);
Set($CorrespondAddress , ‘rtadmin’);

~rt-3.2.1/etc/initialdata

Correct, you need to reload the web server when you make config changes.

Set($rtname , “RT”);

Please don’t do this. Use a tag unique to your organization so that you
don’t run into ticket id conflicts with some other organization out
there.

I did some searching and hopefully I didn’t re-invent the wheel here. I
wanted to disable autoreplies for any email addresses matching a list of
regular expressions. This works on my dev environment, and I’m about to
take it to the live environment. I hope it helps someone.
Feedback/improvement is welcome, too.

$RTHOME/local/lib/RT/Action/Autoreply_Local.pm:

use strict;
no warnings qw(redefine);

{{{ sub SetRecipients

sub SetRecipients {
my $self=shift;

my @recipients = $self->TicketObj->Requestors->MemberEmailAddresses;
open (FH, $RT::NoAutoreply);
while (<FH>) {
    chomp;
    my $line = $_;
    next if ($line =~ /^#/);
    @recipients = grep (!/^$line$/is, @recipients);
}
close (FH);

push(@{$self->{'To'}}, @recipients);

return(1);

}

}}}

1;

Append this to $RTHOME/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm:

Set($NoAutoreply, ‘/usr/local/rt3/etc/noautoreply’);

And then add stuff like this to the file pointed to by $NoAutoreply:

root@.*.domain.com
someemail@otherdomain.com

This was built and lightly tested under RT 3.0.10 (perl 5.6.1).
