configuring the email-answers

We have a new installation of OTRS, and it works fine. I do however have a few questions. When answering a user request... I would like to change the "From"-address from the system-address to either the agent's mail-address, or even better a designated address that shows which queue it belongs to (one separate sender-address per queue?). Also we would like to be able to choose whether we should cc: the original recipients when answering. I didn't find anything in the documentation/mailinglist archive. Our situation is that we don't have dispatchers and the user support is based upon mailing lists like "network-support", "unix-support" etc. To make the transision from this to support using a ticket system sort of smoothe we thought we could place a designated "otrs-user" on each of these mailing-lists and have the system pop in the messages and place them in corresponding queues.

Also....any possibility of having OTRS look at "References" in the mail-header? That way, when a user sends a request one can answer the request by mail without having to wait for the ticket, as far as I can see the request and the answer now become two tickets. Margrete

I found the email-options I asked about...I must have been tired, I'm sorry,-I don't mean to spam :) This, I haven't really figured out:

And: is it possible to change the status of a ticket via email, specifically, can a ticket be closed via email? Margrete

No, not in the current version. Were it a requirement for you to actually implement OTRS, I'd refer you to www.otrs.de, we'll do it. Robert Kehl -- ((otrs.de)) :: OTRS GmbH :: Norsk-Data-Str. 1 :: 61352 Bad Homburg http://www.otrs.de/ :: Tel. +49 (0)6172 4832388
