Fetchmail and rt-mailgate

Hi all,

I’m interested in implementing ticket replies by email, and although
ticket creation is a plus is not necessary.
As I have a big number of queues and other constraints I don’t want to
create a reply address for each queue.
Is it possible using the fetchmail and rt-mailgate method, to poll just
one general email address, and RT sending the reply to the correct queue
and ticket, as the ticket number is global and not queue related ?

Regards,
Carlos Silva

I may well be wrong, and I’m sure someone will correct me very quickly
if I am, but I think the Queue you specify for the mailgate will only
apply to new ticket creation meaning that if a ticket already exists and
is in a different queue, the correspondence will be added and the ticket
will remain in the queue it was in.

I may be wrong.

Mike, you were right, that’s it, thanks.

I’ve tried without having a “–queue” so I thought it wouldn’t work,
silly me.
