Greetings, After upgrading to 3.3.3 I'm seeing some Cron errors. Searching for these errors didn't turn up any meaningful results.

Re: [otrs] Fetch Mail
by Jill Goldstein 17 Dec '13

Mark, I'm using the web version. I did a search on SysConfig and didn't find anything like that. I did a test, and sent an email to my ticket email address (ticket(a)spfsolutions.biz) and I left my OTRS open, and it never auto fetched. Do you (or anyone) know anything else about how to set up an auto fetch on the web based OTRS? -- Jill Goldstein Customer Support Phone: 303-731-5634 http://spfsolutions.biz From: Mark Campbell <mcampbell(a)emediatrade.com<mailto:mcampbell@emediatrade.com>> Reply-To: "User questions and discussions about OTRS." <otrs(a)otrs.org<mailto:otrs@otrs.org>> Date: Monday, December 16, 2013 at 2:25 PM To: "User questions and discussions about OTRS." <otrs(a)otrs.org<mailto:otrs@otrs.org>> Subject: Re: [otrs] Fetch Mail It's set by default to fetch every 10 minutes.

Subject: [otrs] Fetch Mail Is there a way to set OTRS to auto-Fetch mail? I did a search through the manual, and did not find much. I did a search in SysConfig and came up with a screen with parameters, but nothing I recognized as Fetch Mail every X Minutes. BTW, my programming days ended with dBase III+, though I have basic HTML experience. I have the concepts of programming down, and I understand tags. Thus I've been able to do things like set up the smtp server without limping to y'all to find an answer.

Ticket state:new even with many updates
by Nick Bright 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Greetings, I'm a little confused by something I've just noticed in my OTRS installation. I've a ticket 15 days old that has 9 updates, including phone-inbound, phone-outbound, customer email-external, and agent email-external. Despite all of this activity, the ticket state shows "new" under the Ticket information window. This is most certainly not a new ticket by any definition of "new", so why does OTRS think that it's a new ticket? My install is v3.3.3 (thought my database has been updated repeatedly since ~1.5 or so). Is it possible that there's an agent which isn't running? A configuration error that snuck in somewhere in the version upgrades over the years?

PDF Manual
by Jill Goldstein 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Greetings and Salutations from SPF Solutions, LLC in Englewood, Co, We are using OTRS for our ticketing program, and I have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to configuring/administering OTRS. I have found the online manual for OTRS, and am grateful for it. However, I was wondering if we can get a pdf of the manual somewhere? -- Jill Goldstein Customer Support Phone: 303-731-5634 http://spfsolutions.biz

Change display name for sent email
by Marty Hillman 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Forgive me if I don't explain this properly. I have had an OTRS system installed and configured and in production since October 1. One of the complaints from the 14 agents is that outbound emails do not show who sent the email. For example, in the below picture, you can see that outbound email is appearing from IT Support rather than the name of the agent who triggered the outbound message. We have a single common mailbox for IT Support, and it is probably the reason behind the issue. Is there any way to change this to display the agent name in the history rather than IT Support?

Hi, In my Otrs, all messages are sending from a generic adress and the real sender is in a reply-to . How can I display the reply-to in ticket view and how can I configure Otrs to send the auto-response and user response to the real sender. Thanks et regards Claude

Ticket number format
by Jean BROW 08 Dec '13

08 Dec '13

We would like to use a different ticket number format per queue, not have the single setting for the whole system. Is there a way for us to a) write our own ticket number format and b) use a different format for each queue in the system. Regards Jean
