Email ticket integration question

Hello, My users are now using the web interface to crate tickets and their login id is their email address. I'd like they also were able to use the email to create them, but I don't know if the system would recognize them and show them the email tickets in theirs customer web interface. Could anybody who is using this feature tell me how this works? And the question for the prize: If so, does anybody know the part of the code that analyzes the user who the tickets belongs to? Thanks in advance

Do you mean your customer user or the agents who reply to tickets?

Customer can create tickets via the webinterface (customer.pl). Also it is possible to fetch customer messages via pop3 or pipe messages directly into OTRS via the PostMaster.pl module. How this works depends on your setup and on the operating system you use. Agents only can process tickets via the web interface. They can not answer, forward, close, e.g. tickets by email.

I mean a customer user: let's say you have a customer (created by itself using the customer web page) with id 'user@domain'. That user sends a mail to the ticket system from that address. Is that mail linked to the 'user@domain' account (so it appears in his/her ticket queue) or is considered as a new customer? I don't know if I've explained it very well, tell me if I don't. Thanks again in advance, J

You've explained it well :). A ticket is linked to a customer, if the email address where the ticket comes from and the mail address of the customer that is registered in OTRS are equal. regards, Christian -- ((otrs)) :: OTRS GmbH :: Europaring 4 :: D - 94315 Straubing Fon: +49 (0) 9421 1862 760 :: Fax: +49 (0) 9421 1862 769 http://www.otrs.com/ :: Communication with success!
