Subject: [rt-users] Multiple Email Addresses

Do you all have any creative solutions for dealing with
multiple email
addresses from the same person so you don’t end up with two user
accounts per person? I see situations where someone has their email
client misconfigured so they send mail out as
username@mail.organization.com when most of the time they are
username@organization.com

We can probably use procmail examine and sometimes re-write email
addresses before they go into RT, but I was curious what others have
done. Part of my problem is there are many machines email may
come from
bob@hisownbox.org.com, stan@mailserver1.org.com, etc

This one’s come up before - I don’t think there’s a simple solution. What
would be nice is a user merge function that works like a ticket merge.
