[rt-users] Block new ticket creation from Email

[John BORIS]

William,
Why not have the email sent to a queue that has a separate reply scrip
that uses a template that includes your instructions along with a link
to the main RT web page for them to use to enter their ticket.  Or maybe
configure an autoresponder in aliases that will send your boiler plate
text to the user.

The first one might be better for you since you can capture their
initial message and its info.  But I don't know the amount of traffic
you get and the time it will take to copy the data from the first
message into the correct ticket. You could also have a scrip that
creates the ticket and closes it immediately.

I want to be able to reply from RT to users trying to create tickets
via
email and tell them they have to use the web interface to create
tickets
and I don't want the ticket to be created. I do however want all of
the
email functionality to work once a ticket is created since most of the
time we need to coax more information out of our users so we can
understand what they want. I currently have my entry in aliases going
to
a nonexistent Queue  to make this functionality work but I have no way
to (or can't figure how) to make RT respond with instructions on using
the system.  I have tried to modify the code but can't follow exactly
how it flows from rt-mailgate to ticket creation. Any help on this
would
be appreciated. 

 

Thanks in advance
