[rt-users] RT not always notifying the ticket requestor.

Hi Jason,

Make sure that you have
    Set($NotifyActor, 1);
in RT_SiteConfig.pm.

By default, RT's Notify module filters out the requestor's address; setting 
$NotifyActor to 1 suppresses this behavior.  If it's not set, RT filters 
out the requestor's address before sending the e-mail, so if the requestor 
was the only recipient then there are no recipients left and you get the 
message you quoted in your log file.  This is one reason that the 
"Autoreply To Requestors" action is necessary - otherwise "Notify 
Requestors" would do the same thing.

If you do have it set in your config file, it's time to load up your scrips 
and templates with $RT::Logger->debug("Value = $value") type statements and 
see what the log file tells you.

Regards,
Gene
