No autoresponse and notify mails

Hi, is there any cronjob that will handle the autoresponse or notify mails? I activated them in the configuration but get no mail. "Normal" answer mails from an agent are working just fine. Maybe you have a point where I can look to track this issue. have fun, bye!tom -- Tom Schroeder Systemadministrator _____________________________________________________________________ TILL.DE Internet Solutions fon 0531 . 39023921 Arlette S.

No cronjobs for autoresponse or notify mails. Autoresponse and notify mails are handled by bin/PostMaster.pl. If a email is delivered to the local user otrs, procmail will pipe the email through bin/PostMaster.pl. You also ca test this with a test-email "cat /usr/share/doc/packages/otrs/test-email-1.box | /opt/OpenTRS/bin/PostMaster.pl".

Autoresponse: * Check if the emails to the user otrs appears in the OpenTRS system * Check if there is a autoresponse (auto reply) for this queue configured * Check /var/log/messages (OTRS-LOGs) * Check the /var/log/mail file (logfile of the MTA) Notify mails (to the agents - new ticket/got follow up): * Only "custom queues" will get notifications * Check if the agent enabled notifications (AgentView::Preferences of AdminView::User) * If a new ticket is in a users "custom queue" but the user got no notification, check the /var/log/messages and /var/log/mail And one important note, the login == the used email address for notifications. In the next releases we have "login" and "email". If you need more help (don't be shy), it would be nice to know: a) Is the OpenTRS system able to receive email (means, emails appear in the OpenTRS system). b) The MTA (Sendmail, Postfix, qmail, ...) c) OS System

Tha emails get in and are put in the Raw Queue. This queue is configured for an automatic respond. There are no errors in the message file and therefore no entries in the maillog.
Notify mails (to the agents - new ticket/got follow up): * Only "custom queues" will get notifications * Check if the agent enabled notifications (AgentView::Preferences of AdminView::User) * If a new ticket is in a users "custom queue" but the user got no notification, check the /var/log/messages and /var/log/mail
Same procedure as above. I have the Raw queue in my "custom queue" list and notification enabled.

b) The MTA (Sendmail, Postfix, qmail, ...)
c) OS System
a) Yes. No Problem at all. The first configuration was only with a | to the Postmaster.pl and currently I have it running with Procmail to do some more sorting. b) Exim c) Debian Linux (of course) d) OTRS 0.5 BETA 5

Ah... in order to say it with the dudes words: "New shit has come to light..." I have switched the notifications to YES in my preferences. After I logged out and logged in again, these settings were switched to NO again. Strange. have fun, bye!tom -- Tom Schroeder Systemadministrator _____________________________________________________________________ TILL.DE Internet Solutions fon 0531 . 39023921 Arlette S.

Ok. That's a bug in 0.5 Beta5 (http://bugs.otrs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10). Use: mysql -uroot -p otrs
ALTER TABLE user_preferences DROP PRIMARY KEY; ALTER TABLE user_preferences ADD INDEX index_user_preferences_user_id (user_id);
To fix that.

Hmm... I should switch to BETA 6 but I don't know exactly a good way to upgrade my current installation. I can copy all the files in the directory and then upgrade the database and the Config. Or is there another way to do a upgrade?! I could also checkout from cvs... maybe this would be a better way to handle changes. Any hints?

CVS is nice, but not always working. I think the easiest way is: - Rename (backup) the current installation (e. g. mv /opt/OpenTRS/ to /opt/OpenTRS-$DATE/) - Install the new release (e. g. into /opt/OpenTRS/) - Do database upgrade (e. g. cat /opt/OpenTRS/scripts/DBUpdate.mysql.sql | mysql -f -u root -p otrs) - Update the /opt/OpenTRS/Kernel/Config.pm (db settings, ...) If you run in trouble with the new release, you can switch back to the old installation.
