Hello,
I’m running RT 4.2.5 and have a problem with the requestor of a ticket
being misidentified when it goes through a mailing list.
We use Google mail for a domain. Let’s call it domain.com.
We created a mailing list, support@domain.com, which forwards to our RT
system at alias@ticket.domain.com.
If I send an email directly to alias@ticket.domain.com, then the Scrip to
create an auto reply to the requestor works as expected. I get the auto
reply, and I appear as the requestor of the ticket.
HOWEVER, if I send to support@domain.com, the message is forwarded into the
RT system and generates a new ticket. But:
a) the requestor is misidentified as support@domain.com instead of the
address I sent from.
b) also /var/log/messages has an error when trying to run the scrip:
“No recipients found. Not sending.”
How exactly does RT identify the requestor?
If I look at the message headers inside the ticket created through
support@domain.com, there are actually two Mail headers which have the real
original sender: From: and X-Original-Sender.
I believe the latter was inserted by Google.
How can I get Request Tracker to use the original sender as the requestor
instead of the mailing list and to get the notification to go to that
original sender?
Thanks for any insights!
It sounds like setting up support@domain.com as a “mailing list” is the
issue, and would explain why the From address of the mail is getting
changed.
If you set up support@domain.com as a simple forward, I believe everything
should work as expected.On 30/09/2014 9:11 am, “Burton Lee” burton.lee@mileweb.com wrote:

Sorry—I seem to have misread what you wrote. I understand now that the
From address of the mail isn’t actually changing.
Your setup must be adding or modifying further headers in the mail. Can
you provide a copy of those headers?On 30/09/2014 10:12 am, “Alex Peters” alex@peters.net wrote:

Thanks guys for the responses. Yes, Google does seem to insert its own
Reply-To in place of the original one.
Below are sample headers obtained when viewing full headers in the newly
created ticket.
Is there an easy way to tweak RT to use the From line as the requestor?
(I don’t know if there is a way to tell google not to modify the header.)

Consider just using a forwarder, and letting RT handle everything else.
What things are you wanting to get out of using a mailing list? It’s very
likely that RT offers all of that functionality already.On 30 September 2014 10:53, Burton Lee burton.lee@mileweb.com wrote:

Can you clarify what you mean by forwarder?
We use Gmail to provide business email for a custom domain.
All I want to do is forward support@domain.com into our RT system.
You’re right I don’t actually need a mailing list.
Perhaps I need to connect with google to figure out if what we want to do
is possible.On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 6:01 PM, Alex Peters alex@peters.net wrote:

I’m not sure what “We created a mailing list” means in this context, but
if
the mailing list you created inserts a reply-to header in the email then
I
think RT may use that in preference to a From: line.

A forwarder will literally just take mail that it receives and pass it to
another destination, virtually untouched. From and Reply-To headers are
not modified in any way.
I have no experience with Google Apps, but some Googling suggests that in
the worst case (and assuming that domain.com is completely managed by
Google for email purposes), you could set up “support@domain.com” as an
actual user, log in as them and set a forwarding address there.On 30 September 2014 11:18, Burton Lee burton.lee@mileweb.com wrote:
Can you clarify what you mean by forwarder?
We use Gmail to provide business email for a custom domain.
All I want to do is forward support@domain.com into our RT system.
You’re right I don’t actually need a mailing list.
Perhaps I need to connect with google to figure out if what we want to do
is possible.

I’d suggest that using a “mailing list” and then trying to mold RT around
it is adding too much complexity to the situation.
Consider just using a forwarder, and letting RT handle everything else.
What things are you wanting to get out of using a mailing list? It’s
very likely that RT offers all of that functionality already.

Thanks guys for the responses. Yes, Google does seem to insert its own
Reply-To in place of the original one.
Below are sample headers obtained when viewing full headers in the newly
created ticket.
Is there an easy way to tweak RT to use the From line as the requestor?
(I don’t know if there is a way to tell google not to modify the header.)
