Reply to requestor problem

We just upgraded from RT2 (very old) to RT 3.4.4 and for some reason when we
reply to a
ticket, the reply to requestors never happen. We can submit a new ticket via
email no problem, so incoming, the mailgate is working well, but outgoing, it
doesn’t do anything but the autoreply we set up. The autoreply does work, so
the issue is not sendmail.

Also, on the replying screen there are two buttons, “Update Ticket” and “Save
Changes”, which one should we be using to correspond with our requestors?? Save
changes appears to do nothing useful and update ticket, seems to do something,
but no dialog returned that confirms message sent.

We’re running Redhat 4 EL with Apache 2.

When the box said “requires Windows XP or better,” I installed Linux!

Do you have a Scrip with the description:

Yes, and have is set as Global scrip.

Do you have RT configured to record outgoing e-mail?

I believe so, I sent your question to the server admin. We do receive a message
when we resolve a ticket, but no content, when we reply to one. Really strange.

Are any outgoing e-mails recorded in your tickets? (should have a [show] link)

Also, always CC rt-users. Everyone should be able to participate in the discussion.

This is the one I was looking for:

RT::RecordOutgoingEmail 1

So are the e-mails you expect to be sent recorded in the ticket?

forgot to CC the list, a few coming through

No. not on create, but we do get a string of correspondence…I was set as
a watcher on a queue for a while and do receive mail as a watcher OnCreate
notify Admins with Template Transaction, so that is/was working. We normally
get way too many tickets to be notified each time.
