Sambar needed for Win32 installation?
by Covert, Jake 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Couple of questions: 1) Is Sambar needed for a Win32 installation? At the beginning of the win32 install guide it says it's optional, but does not refer to configuring certain items without it (cron / stats ) 2) Using exim, my incoming mail gets dumped to: D:\cygwin\var\spool\mail\jake How can I set OTRS to use this mail file as the incoming mail? I'm using Apache, and exim on a windows 2000 box. ********************************* Jake Covert Infrastructure Analyst Electronic Data Systems PSIC Support Group (586) 986-9698 Work (586) 518-3859 Pager http://www.eds.com ********************************* -----Original Message----- From: Martin Edenhofer [mailto:martin@edenhofer.de] Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 6:41 PM To: announce(a)otrs.org The OTRS Team is pleased to announce the release of OTRS 1.1.2.

Feature: write email to customer
by gilles.massen＠restena.lu 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hello, I have a question related to a feature in the TODO List for release 1.2: "Write email (new ticket) to customer". Is there any (maybe very vague) idea for when this release will be scheduled? The reason I'm asking is that this feature is very important for us. So I will need the feature or a workaround: is anyone aware of an easy workaround? (creating a phone ticket and then replying to it works, but is quite cumbersome). I do consider a quick'n'dirty construct based on a mix of AgentPhone.pm and AgentCompose.pm. What would be needed in order to make something like this work? So far I believe it is a module and a template to go with it. Is that correct or is this far more work than it looks like? Many thanks for any comment... Best regards, Gilles -- RESTENA - DNS-LU 6, rue Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg tel: (+352) 424409 fax: (+352) 422473

Queue sorting by P2 e-mail address, not P1!
by Alex Mihicinac 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi all, I did some more tests and figured out that OTRS uses P2 level e-mail addresses as From reference and not P1 level (which would be more appropriate!). Is there any way to handle this? When using P1 as From reference can be a lot of problems when receiving some forwards or bounces -> replying to these mails will result in wrong To: address, which would be from the guy who did bounce/forward, not the guy who send the original mail. Thanks in advance! With regards, Alex P.S. I'll finally have some time to put together my OTRS@SunOS installantion notes - can you guys tell me how would you like to have that?

Customer and auto responses via customer.pl
by Jim Wight 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

A customer asks why they need to be shown auto responses when viewing their tickets via customer.pl. As far as they are concerned, these articles doesn't contain any useful information. Jim
