Long Live RemMail Doug (UWIP) -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of strauss Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 3:20 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Incoming mail on ITSM
Nothing is there in 7.6.04 unless you build it; what I built from old RemMail forms/filters for 7.0 is still working in 7.6.04 - strictly to add a Worklog entry to an existing Incident. ITSM 8.0 finally adds incident creation from incoming (although not as foolproof as Remedyforce or competitors), and updates the Worklog from replies for Incident, Known Error, Problem, Request, Task, and Work Order. See 'Application Administration Console - Foundation - Email Engine Rules - Configure Rules.' The huge shortcoming in 8.0 is that it does not create an Incident for incoming mail from an email address that is NOT the Email Address for someone already present in the CTM:People table - and you are still limited to ONE email address for each people record, as near as I can tell. Worse, if it does not find a matching email it does not create anything at all - just returns an error to the sender. At least Remedyforce and ServiceNow will go ahead and create the Incident using a generic Site Guest User or Guest account, respectively - allowing the helpdesk to receive the new incident and set the correct customer or create a new one. OOTB, ITSM 8.0 just slaps them with the following, lovely error message: Your email with a Subject of: [ Test Email Injection with random text ] was rejected: [ ] ...and leaves them feeling unfulfilled and unwanted.

After send a record of the email is displayed in Work Info. If I send an email to the AR Server, it ends up in the AR System Email Messages and stops there. Out of the box can it be pushed to the Work Info of the referenced incident? Incident would be in the subject line. In 6.3 I had to build this email functionality to email from the incident and receive replies back to the incident. The push was easly enough but including the attachments was pretty complex. Pleasantly surprised to see that out going is built into the OOB ITSM and was hoping the incoming had also been done. If it is there, how do I turn it on. If it is not there has anyone done this with ITSM and if so how. Any white papers out there for this?
