Hi Maurice, Amran, I had a similar wish, because I want only users with an account to receive a mail with the URL to the ticket (and OTRS). IMHO it should be a nice feature, if one could write some rules in the responses. But until that is possible... I think at this point there is only one way (or at least only one EASY way) of doing this: By making sure that tickets of e-mail senders that do NOT yet have an account end up in a separate QUEUE (with the auto replies set to your liking). Named like "OTHERS" or whatever. Best to make sure that existing customers do NOT have access to this QUEUE (TO field) Tickets from sender WITH an account (then) can end up in any of the queues you have matched the system e-mail address(es) to. For this to be possible, the sender's e-mail address of the incoming e-mail will need to be checked against the email field in the customer_user table of OTRS. If there is no match: put in the "OTHERS" queue, by setting the 'X-OTRS-Queue' token. Else proceed as normal. The simplest way I can think of is by using the PostMaster CMD filter module, to run an external script that does the check on 'From' address <-> customer_user.email. A very simple setup, with a very basic script, I have included below as a working example: The CMD module, to be added to Kernel/Config.pm: # Using /opt/otrs/scripts/test_mail_filter # Job Name: 5-testMailFilter $Self->{'PostMaster::PreFilterModule'}->{'9-testMailFilter'} = { Module => 'Kernel::System::PostMaster::Filter::CMD', CMD => '/opt/otrs/scripts/test_mail_filter', #CMD => 'tee /tmp/catcher.$$', Set => { 'X-OTRS-Queue' => 'OTHERS', }, }; # when the script runs on a received e-mail it checks if the e-mail address can be matched # to an OTRS account, or not. When NOT (script return's 0 code), the ticket will be placed # in queue OTHERS. # # the commented CMD with 'tee' is a handy one to catch all the e-mails into a file to see what passes # The very simple script, to be placed within reach of the OTRS user (executable, eg. 755), other fancy OTRS/Perl variants are possible: (a good example, yet in german, can be found here: http://www.otrs-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2712) #!/bin/bash ########################################### # scripts/test_mail_filter # the database user (otrs) and password (PASSWORD) need to be adjusted! # find the From line, and take the e-mail from between the < > part. sender_mail=`awk '/^(From.*<)(.*)(>*)/,gsub(/.*<|>.*/,"")'` # set the default (not found) return code retcode=0 # check if we did find an e-mail address (likely) if [ "XX" != "X${sender_mail}X" ] then # find a login name for the e-mail address # the database user (otrs) and password (PASSWORD) for database 'otrs' need to be adjusted! sender_account=`mysql -N -B -u otrs -pPASSWORD otrs -e "select login from customer_user where email = \"$sender_mail\""` # positive match? if [ "XX" != "X${sender_account}X" ] then ##echo "X-OTRS-Login=${sender_account}" # return value set to 'possitive' retcode=1 fi fi # leave with return code. exit $retcode # Because OTRS rule in Config.pm applies when the script result is 'true', the script # has to return a 0 (ok) when NO match is found. This can be turned around, when for # some reason a rule will applied when account DOES exist. ########################################### gr, Frans From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of Maurice James Sent: zaterdag 9 mei 2009 05:12 To: 'User questions and discussions about OTRS.'
