[rt-users] handle tickets via Mail, but Problems with space in queue-name

[Helmuth Ramirez]

We use spaces in our queue names, here is an excerpt from our aliases
file

rttechnicalservices: "|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue 'technical
services' --action correspond --url http://MyUrlHere.com"
rttechnicalservices-comment: "|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue
'technical services' --action comment --url http://MyUrlHere.com"

Subject: [rt-users] handle tickets via Mail,but Problems with space in
queue-name

Hello,

  I've got a problem with handling tickets in queues containing spaces.

Description:
The mails are being fetched via fetchmail and delivered to rt-mailgate
via procmail.
All things work fine, but I still couldn't deliver Mails to Queuenames
containing spaces.
I have already searched for a solution in the web, but the most
mentioned hint, to put
the queue-name between single quotes behind the --queue option of
rt-mailgate, doesn't
work. For better understanding, my code in the .procmailrc

-- SNIP: .procmailrc --
# ... setting some variables

:0
{
# getting action from Recipient
TO=`formail -c -xReceived: |grep $MAILDOMAIN |sed -e 's/.*for
*<*\(.*\)>* *;.*$/\1/'`
ACTION=`echo $TO| $HOME/get_action.pl`
QUEUE=`formail -c -xSubject: | awk -F[ '{ print $2 }' | awk -F] '{ print
$1 }'`

# ... change something within the mailheader
:0 h b w
|/usr/bin/perl $RT_MAILGATE --queue "${QUEUE}" --action $ACTION --url
${RT_URL}
}
-- SNAP --

The procmail.log returns:
-- SNIP: procmail.log --
...
procmail: Assigning "QUEUE=Queue with Spaces"
...
procmail: Executing
"/usr/bin/perl,/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate,--queue,Queue with
Spaces,--action,correspond,--url,http://rt.domain.com/"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue Queue with Spaces --action
correspond --url http://rt.domain.com/"
procmail: Notified comsat: "rt_dispatcher@:/usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue Queue with Spaces --action
correspond --url http://rt.domain.com/"

Additional Information:
I'm trying to use only two mailadresses: rt at rt.domain.com and
rt-comment at rt.domain.com,
the Mailsubject must be written like '[Queuename #TicketID]
TicketSubject' to answer a ticket
and like '[Queuename] TicketSubject' to create a Ticket. I use procmail
to deliver the mails into
rt-mailgate and rewrite the Mailsubject.

I would be very grateful for some help :)
Best regards,
Stefan Oeser
