<div> </div>
<div>That setting prevents RT from sending emails that will "loop" infinitely in your system.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For example.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>RT is setup with the basic autoreply, and reply on correspondence etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>RT has 2 queues, <a rel="nofollow">support@here.com</a> goes to general, and <a rel="nofollow">it@here.com</a> goes to IT queue.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If <a rel="nofollow">it@here.com</a> emails <a rel="nofollow">support@here.com</a> the general queue will autoreply to <a rel="nofollow">it@here.com</a> which will create a ticket and autoreply to <a rel="nofollow">support@here.com</a> which will create a ticket and auto-reply to <a rel="nofollow">it@here.com</a> etc etc etc....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Big loop, never ending, blow up RT :P</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you set the regular expression to <a rel="nofollow">support@here.com</a> when RT emails out, it'll filter any emails going to <a rel="nofollow">support@here.com</a>. This will ensure no loop happens.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>SO to recap, RTAddressRegexp has to be a regular expression that ALL email addresses that send stuff to RT will validate through.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this helps!</div>
