Odd Error relating to E-mail tickets

Hello. I'm trying to configure OTRS so that it only just sends mail but doesn't Receive it. I have placed the SMTP configuration information Into the config.pm file in the /otrs/kernel directory, but even though The "Admin-Notification" function seems to work correctly, sending an e-mail Ticket doesn't. No, I have not configured the "Postmaster POP3 Account" menu yet, mainly Because I don't want OTRS to pop e-mail from the support account yet. (The support e-mail account gets lots of system generated e-mails sent to it and would result in creating about 80-something tickets per day. Yes, it's being changed to a different account, but it will take time.) Here's the error I'm getting: -- SNIP -- Error: Can't use from: otrs@localhost! Enable debug for more info! Comment: Bug Report: Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-01 Perl: 5.8.8 OS: MSWin32 Time: Wed Dec 13 10:23:17 2006 Message: Can't use from: otrs@localhost! Enable debug for more info!

It appears to me as if OTRS is trying to send mail Not from the ticket agent's configured e-mail address and not from the admin account E-mail address either. I've gone through the Core:: configuration in the SysConfig menu under admin and I can't Find "otrs@localhost" anywhere! (Was I looking hard enough?) I know that perhaps the admin(1) account is the postmaster account, but even after changing It's e-mail address in the users menu, it still doesn't help anything. If this is documented, I'd like to know where because I've been RTFM'ing for a while! Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you very much. -- Bud Bennett E-mail: bbennett at n0$pam.electrobusiness.com

You use the SMTP-sending-option? Can't you use the default sendmail-option instead? Then OTRS can send mails if the corresponding user can do this also from linux-shell. See http://doc.otrs.org/2.1/en/html/c1192.html#email-sending Sorry, I can't help you more due to no experience in the use of the SMTP-sending-option. Bye, Alex
