Fran -
Are you _sure_ that CreateTicket has been granted to RT's "Everyone" group for your "general" queue? This log snippet would seem to indicate
otherwise.


Yep, I am positive (and just triple-checked) that I have granted Everyone the right to CreateTicket and ReplyToTicket in our General queue's group rights. Keep in mind that this works at least 90% of the time - we receive first-time tickets in our General queue from users with all manner of email addresses on a daily basis. :-)

    In our system, it took me a while to figure out a similar problem
because my email preprocessor (procmail) was occasionally specifying the
wrong queue when it invoked /etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate.

Now, this is a very interesting comment. I am filtering all incoming email for the general queue through procmail. Here is our setup:

In /etc/aliases:

helpdesk: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m QUEUE=general /etc/mail/ helpdesk-procmail-rules" helpdesk-comment: "|/usr/local/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general -- action comment --url http://our.RT.server/";

In /etc/mail/helpdesk-procmail-rules:

SHELL       = /bin/sh

:0 h
* ^X-Spam-Level: +\*\*\*\*
/dev/null

:0
| /usr/local/bin/rt-mailgate --queue $QUEUE --action correspond --url https://our.rt.server/

Basically, I look at the SpamAssassin headers to weed out incoming helpdesk requests that look like spam. I'm more trusting of helpdesk- comment, since it hasn't caused a spam problem, so I send that direct to rt-mailgate from /etc/aliases.

Notice anything odd about this? Given that it works most of the time, I think this is ok, but thought maybe you could put a second set of eyes on it.

Thanks,
Fran
