RT3 not sending emails to requestor or owner

Hi

we are in the process of moving our rt from host host to another, for
testing purpose i have installed rt3 using ‘yum’ on fedora 7, we are
using the same mysql dbs from original (by taking dump)

Everything looks fine just one problem, before in our rt setup
’requestors’ and owners do get emails but now if i create new ticket
or take ticket or ‘reslove’ one rt do not sent email to ‘me’ (owner,
requestor etc)

Any idea what i am missing?

Thanks. Askar

It’s a feature :wink:

Look at $NotifyActor in your RT configuration file (defaults is 0, i.e.
no mail to Actor.

I have the same problem. Yum was on cron updating the machine normally.
This was configured by the previous RT admin. When I checked the yum
log I noticed that yum updated perl libraries before the failures were
noticed. After Nov 9th this functionality stopped. I am in the process
of restoring from tape this directory. If you determine that it is
anything else, please reply. I have disabled yum from cron.

Our RT also is not sending mail to owners anymore, but is still sending
mail to the requestor and Cc. I don’t see how $NotifyActor could have
anything to do with this, since a) we haven’t changed that config
setting, and b) owners aren’t being notified when requestors send
mail–when owners aren’t actors.
