to interact with OTRS. It would be very useful if there is an X-OTRS mail header that I can set that specifies to which ticket an incoming message should be linked.
Any specific reason for you not to use the ticket number in the Subject: line?
Yes, many :) The most important reason is that the subject line must adhere to certain externally imposed requirements, and an OTRS id is not included in that. This morning, I have however heard back from somebody else, who wrote: --- begin quote --- OTRS recognizes that a new message belongs to an allready existing ticket by - researching the subject of the message for the ticket number, - researching the message references - researching the body of the message for a ticket number - researching plain text attachments for a ticket number and - researching the raw message for a ticket number. In OTRS 2.1.3 the following config params are responsible for the behaviour for follow ups: $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInReferences'} = '1'; $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInBody'} = '1'; $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInAttachment'} = '1'; $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInRaw'} = '1'; --- end quote --- While this requires OTRS 2.1 and we have been using 2.0 so far, this is promising. It also gives me a reason to upgrade :-) -Kees
