Thank you Christian for your answer. How do OTRS will not generate/issue Ticket Number to unwanted email like spam mail???
Thats also not possible :(. If a mail reaches the ticket system, a new ticket is opened and a ticket number is assigned to this ticket. Its to late to fight against SPAM in this part of the processing.
A good setup would sort out spam mails before they reache the ticket system. You could install spamassassin for example and let this package check all your incomming mails. If they are marked as spam, a header entry is added. Now you can setup a PostMaster Filter rule ind OTRS an tell the system, that all mails with the spam header of spamassassin should be ignored by the system, just set the X-OTRS-Ignore header with the filter rule. With this header the mail is completely ignored and the mail will never reach the ticket system, no new ticket will be created. Or, if you not want to delete spam mails without watching them, you could let them sort in to a specific queue, just set the X-OTRS-Queue header in the filter rule. Such a setup with spamassassin is possible with pop3 accounts (you can use the pre PostMasterFilter) or if you recive your mails directly via the PostMaster.pl script.
Best regards, Christian
