[rt-users] Email.pm and User Account Creation

[Steve Madonna]

Hi,

I'm trying to give newly created accounts access to the web interface 
automatically. Seaching the [rt-user] archives pointed me to Email.pm. 
I've changed the various parameters in the CreateUser function:

my ($Val, $Message) =
      $NewUser->Create(Name => ($Username || $Address),
                       EmailAddress => $Address,
                       RealName => $Name,
                       Password => undef,
                       Privileged => 0,
                       Comments => 'Autocreated on ticket submission'
                      );

Various posts said that just changing the Password line from undef to 
something like ($Username || $Address) would allow a newly created 
account. Not in my case. If I change any of these parameters, they don't 
seem to take effect at all. As a test, I changed Comments to say 'Test 
account' instead of the default. The first test account created via 
email had this comment text. The very next account created was back to 
the default?!?!? Pretty crazy. Does anyone have any experience hacking 
this file? Suggestions on what I need to do?

Thanks in advance for any info.
