Hi all,
We are seeing a problem where the ticket subject gets mangled when it
starts with “re”, for example “remote” gets mangled to “mote”. I know
3.8.8 is pretty old, and I’m planning to upgrade, but I can’t do it
immediately.
I assume this is happening due to some regex intended to strip off "Re:
" prefixes from the subject, but I can’t find it anywhere in the code…
So, I have a few questions:
- Is there a config parameter I can change to avoid this?
- Does the 4.x branch have this same problem?
- If none of the above, does anyone know what code I need to look at?
(I’ve tried the RT::Interface:
:Gateway module, but I can’t see it
filtering the “re” out anywhere).

I’ve now done some more tests, and it only seems to happen when making
comments on a ticket with a subject that starts with “re”. I’m still
digging…

I believe you want to grab a copy of the Admin Comment template from 3.8.9 or
later and update it through the web UI.

It seems to occur only on incoming emails, not outgoing. I am relaying
email on all outbound emails, but not when they come into the rt server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Kevin.
I’ve had a look at that and it is the culprit! I’ve modified the scrip
to use “s/^Re[:]*\s//” instead, and it now works. Now I’ll have a look
at the 3.8.9 version and see what that does…

This usually points to misconfigured aliases or not listing the
hostname that mail is being delivered to in the list of hostnames
postfix knows about. However, you’ve cut all the useful pieces out of
your error message so we’re just guessing.

I’m not yet that familiar with git or github… could you give me a hint
of where to find it please? I’m assuming that scrips are stored in the
database (perhaps I’m wrong!) so I thought it would be part of the
installer/db init code bundle…

BTW, the hostname its currently configured to should actually be:
rtsu.ussu.susx.ac.uk and not mail.ussusupport.co.uk, (that was for a test).

You can always just download the tarball, we host all the historical
releases. The data is stored in the etc/initialdata file. The
version in 4.0 on github will also work just fine, that template
hasn’t changed materially for 4.0.

You don’t appear to have told postfix that it accepts mail for
ussupport.co.uk.
This makes postfix think that you’re asking it to relay, and it’s set
up to deny relaying, hence the bounce.
There are a half dozen ways to configure postfix to accept mail for
ussupport.co.uk depending on what you’re doing. The simplest may be
setting mydestination, but review the postfix docs so you know if you
want that vs a virtual host.
