Hossein, Perhaps that ticket did NOT have an owner. We do the same thing only we set the action to Notify AdninCcs. Of course, the Queue has to have an AdminCc as a queue watcher in order for someone to get the email. Hope this helps. Kenn LBNL On 5/26/2009 12:21 PM, Hossein Rafighi

because of canonicalization (LDAP or some other way) then it's all you need. You even can delete duplicates from DB using shredder. Otherwise MergeUsers extension can be used to make two accounts in RT's Users table behave like one. On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 8:24 PM, Ken Crocker kfcroc...@lbl.gov wrote
