I found 2 methods :
1) user education
2) further explanation in the resolved template that they need not reply
unless there is still something wrong.
Both methods together works best of course.
I know this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but imagine
you would ignore replies to a ticket after it is closed (or create a new
one) you would have much more problems cleaning up that mess in contrast
to just closing the ticket again this time.
You could however maybe adjust some templates and use a CustomValue
field (which you set manually) to indicate that there will be no
Resolved mail sent to the user (after "thanks"-reply) to avoid having a
user loop like :
thanks -> resolved -> i thought it was already solved ? -> resolved ->
why do you keep resolving -> resolved -> stop it !
(Thrust me I've had this with one client at a time... <g>)
So using CustomValue you'd have something like this :
thanks -> set CustomValue ID10T -> resolve (silent - no mail)
