We have here an active support team all using OTRS, and people are writing to support every day tens of messages - a lot of them don't answer more than once, and there is no way we can tell to leave the ticket open or to set next ticket state as closed when answering. so is there any way to make the tickets auto-close themselves after a certain period of time ? because now each OTRS agent has a few hundred locked tickets because the customers never continued conversation and we didn't know that they won't.

Just set the ticket to pending_auto_close. And OTRS will close the ticket wenn the time has reached. PS: Of course OTRS cron jobs need to be active.

I must be doing something wrong.
First a quick question: What's the difference from pending auto close + and pending auto close - ?
Every ticket we put on pending auto close +, after reaching the pending time, it gerenates a email with the following error:
Subject: Cron

Answering to myself:
# state after pending
# (state after pending time has reached)
$Self->{StateAfterPending} = {
'pending auto close+' => 'closed successful',
'pending auto close-' => 'closed unsuccessful',
};
