I have finally fixed the problem. I am closing this "thread" and sending a fix to whoever might have the same problem. On the box otrs is running on, I had installed qmail's sendmail binary of the qmail-mini's package. The sendmail binary contacts a QMQP server to send an email. The parameters of the sendmail binary on Config.pm must have the following order: $Self->{'SendmailModule::CMD'} = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f '; The critical flag is '-f' that must always be the last one. This fixes all the stupid followups. Best regards to all OTRS users and developers. Pedro Rebelo -- Original Message -- From: Graham Smith To: "User questions and discussions about OTRS." Send: 2003-09-08 Subject: Re: [otrs] Is it possible to use auto-reply only for Ticker that are created via the customer-interface ? Having a brief glance at this it is possible that the user is sending a notification of receipt that contains the ticket ID in subject heading. Some mail systems send such messages whether or not the sender requested them, which is not entirely friendly for an automated mail response system. This could be interpreted as a genuine follow up message. Have you looked at the follow up message? (I have had a problem recently with a site sending such a notification without the ticket ID that set up a rather irritating mail->response loop). I have also seen this happen with users out of office and vacation messages. One trick would be to use the procmail pre-processor to identify such messages and send them to a queue that does not auto-respond (if possible). I have not noticed any settings in OTRS itself to handle this issue. On Mon, 2003-09-08 at 02:00, Pedro Rebelo wrote:

Been there, done that. Didn't work. Here's an output of a ticket history:

How can I deactivate the annoying FollowUps ?

How can I disable all this followups that the system sends to itself after each auto-response or forward ?

The system is actually sending the emails to user 0, I believe, not to the "system". Change the user preferences for the user with user id 0 to not get notify anymore when new tickets are in the custom queue.

hth,
