As Admin, in sysconfig, section Framework: Framework -> Core::Sendmail What is SendmailModule set to? I bet sendmail (the default), and perhaps your sendmail is either set for hour poll (or even sent out only when retrieving mail.) Make sure it is set as SMTP. What is set as SendmailModule::CMD ? P.S. My personal tip: Also set the SendmailBcc: (Send all outgoing email via bcc to the specified address. Please use this only for backup reasons) to your own e-mail address. Handy to see what goes out. Kind regards, Frans Stekelenburg NetDialog Service Center +31 30 789 3636 www.netdialog.eu

Postmaster jobs are managed by the crontab. Try to modify (as in fedora) /opt/otrs/var/cron/postmaster*

and then

service restart otrs

For the outgoing email depends on what you use (smtp or sendmail or other)....

Hello All

Im new to OTRS

I am having a problem that when I send a ticket to our OTRS system there is a delay of say 15 mins before I receive the ticket in my queue.

If I go into the Admin console and then into postmaster ?mail account and say run now the message is received right away.

There also seems to be a delay in my replies ie. Change of owner or acknowledgement of the ticket number

Pleas eany help would be great as I need to present a WORKING TICKET SYSTEM ON THE 17TH APRIL.

Thanking you in advance

Unix or windows?

Postmaster function (script) is called from a scheduled command. On unix in cron. By default every 10 minutes.
