Is there a particular reason that it’s required that
the customer ID be an email address? I understand that it’s good to have
that to maintain a communications trail with the customer etc but often our
issues are handled over the phone and in about 15-20% of the cases the specific
person we are speaking with does not have an email address. At least not that
they wish to share. Also in about 25% of the tickets we open the tickets are
opened by a receptionist who takes the call or it may come in via a voice mail
where the customer does not leave an email. Just wondering if it’s possible
to make some small tweaks to accommodate this since currently OTRS checks the
MX validity of entered email so we cant even do something like customername@company.nodomain to
get the ticket open.
