Multiple Emails associated with Single login

Is it possible to associate multiple emails with a single user login? Is it possible to have multiple logins associated with a single email address? Thanks, Tyler Hepworth

If you use a DB as CustomerUser backend, and just want OTRS to correctly assign all incoming emails, then yes, it is possible, although apparently not "directly". I have a table with users and a table with email aliases with schema { UserID, eMailAlias }. Now I configured OTRS to use an LEFT JOIN of the User and the eMailAlias table as "User table" and extended the postmaster search and the manual search attributes by the eMailAlias attribute. That's obviously no nice way to solve it but a simple one and it works for me (TM). ... Table => 'Kunden LEFT JOIN KundenEmailAlias ON Kunden.ID = KundenEmailAlias.KundenID', }, CustomerUserSearchFields => ['ID', 'Vorname', 'Name', 'Mail', 'KundenEmailAlias.eMail'], CustomerUserPostMasterSearchFields => ['Mail', 'KundenEmailAlias.eMail'], ... If you have different contact persons with a single CustomerUser ID, just model it this way in your DB and it is supposed to work. This would be the much cleaner way to solve it.

Yes, but I don't know exactly what OTRS will do if assigning a ticket with such an address. It probably won't get assigned at all and you'll have to choose one of the possible assignments manually later on. If you have other criteria besides the email address which you can use to uniquely identify/assign an incoming email, you should tag them appropriately using procmail and a / some additional script(s).

Mh, I was wrong OTRS merely chooses the first hit. (At least if using the DB CustomerUser backend.) Is there a configuration option to change this or would it require some small patching?
