Stop emails being sent for certain email addresses

Hi,

Presently we have several servers which send a notification email to our RT
instance. I just wondered does anyone no of a way that we can prevent
auto-replies and resolved emails going to these email addresses. The reason
being is it is just servername@ourdomain.co.nz which is not setup as a
mailbox and causes sendmail of course to log it’s inability to send it and
bounced mail recorded in our exchange server. Can we do this?
Regards

Aaron

We have a similar situation. We just changed the from address to be
noreply@rt.domain.com. We then create an alias for noreply and send it to
/dev/null.
You could write scrips for this as well. Above is just an easy way without
having to write anything. We let RT do its magic, but then just trash the
emails.

Hi Aaron,

I believe this is what you are looking for:

OnCreateAutoReplyException - Request Tracker Wiki

You define an array of emails that are never to get a reply

my @exceptionList = (‘robot@automated.sys’,
‘cyborg@sky.net’);

in the condition, and replies still go out to anyone not in that
array. I’d imagine it would be easy to use on actions other than
ticket create, as well.

/chown -R us:us /yourbase

I’m running RT v3.8.0 and RT::FM v2.2.1 and both are working ok. After
installing RT v.3.8.2 and RTFM 4.2.1 on a fresh directory, all non-ascii
characters are beeing displayed as it’s original ASCII characters
instead of UTF-8 characters:

 3.8.0: 35493 	Liberação de Acesso - 150.164.76.74
 3.8.2: 35493 	Liberação de Acesso - 150.164.76.74

It occurs only with tickets. RT titles, in portuguese, are displayed ok.

Updates were applied to database (RT 3.8.0 is working with 3.8.2 mysql
db schema). Original RT_Siteconfig.pm was copied to the new directory.
Nothing else was modified: I have both versions installed and I change
between versions stoping httpd, renaming RT’s directory (/opt/rt to
/opt/rt-3.8.2, /opt/rt-3.8.0 to /opt/rt) end restarting httpd.

Does anyone have a single suggestion about the source of the problem?

Did you really read and applied steps explained in UPGRADING.mysql ??

That’s Great Rob,

I had missed that one on the wiki. That looks like it will suit perfectly.

Aaron-

Another thought, you could also use your local email client on the RT server
to capture those emails and route them to /dev/null. Here is a url to the
postfix manual :
