I just downloaded and set up RT for use with MySQL, and was very
impressed. My colleagues, after taking a look at it, decided it won’t
work for us because they say one can’t open a ticket via email.
Is this correct? The docs and the Web site seem to indicate that one
can; I’d set up a send-only sendmail on my personal Linux box to test
everything -but- that, so I’m unsure.
You’ll want to set up a line in /etc/aliases per the readme. then send mail
to that address… Presto. a new open ticket.

That’s very incorrect.� Whenever correspondance comes in, the ticket is
automatically reopened. It’s also possible to give commands like:
You might want to look at the RBL, procail or go searching freshmeat.
In practice I’ve not had problems with abuse of mail-create of tickets.
Well, I’ve had some overzealous users, but we have other ways of dealing
with that

I admit that X is the second worst windowing system in the world, but all the

Your colleagues are wrong.
If installed correctly, any email to the rt queue alias which do not have
a recognisable ticket marker in the Subject: header are assigned a new
ticket number. I’m sure that this is in the docs.
