Hi all, I have an RT set up that is being used for customers to raise support issues in a small business.
Training customers to email my support address (which is tied to RT) is a bit of a nightmare, but I still want to get everything in there. If a customer emails me directly, I can hit the redirect button in my mail client (Mail.app) and send the message to RT, with the "From:" header intact, so RT knows which user to attribute it to (ie. not me, the customer). However, life would be easier for myself and others if I was able to simply forward the email, instead of redirect - not every mail client supports a redirect function. Does anyone have any code written to interpret mail messages that were forwarded, and then push the original message in to RT as though it was sent directly from a customer? There is some fairly complex logic needed, ie.: - How do we know a message should be interpreted as a forwarded message, as opposed to a customer forwarding a message to the support address once they have learned to do that directly? Do we need a new mail alias, ie. rt-...@blah? - How do we interpret the forwarded message, different mail clients include the forwarded message and headers differently Highrise from 37signals seems to do this pretty well, so it can't be impossible.. -- Nathan Ward _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [email protected] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
