[rt-users] Is setting up RT to create tickets via Gmail possible?

You just have to set up fetchmail to pick up replies to the same mailbox. We have ours configured to an office 365 service user.

sudo cat /etc/fetchmailrc
[sudo] password for rshaker:
set daemon 60
set invisible
set no bouncemail
set no syslog
poll outlook.office365.com protocol pop3: username "$EMAIL_GOES_HERE" password "$PUT_THE_PASS_HERE" mda "/opt/rt4/bin/rt-mailgate --queue ' Uncategorized' --action correspond --url http://localhost/" no keep

You may need to mess with this a bit to get it to work with Gmail, since I believe it only supports pop3 over SSL. A quick google showed this article, it might help you a bit.

Hi all, this posts is 3 days in the making and I'm sure its probably a dumb question and hoping there's a easy clear answer someone can guide me to.

I have RT setup so that when new tickets are posted it now sends out email alerts to the ticket owner and also to those CC'd via a gmail account.

Got that working by using the following in Exim passwd config:
gmail-smtp.l.google.com:rt.xxxx at gmail.com:password
*.google.com:rt.xxxx at gmail.com:password
smtp.gmail.com:rt.xxxx at gmail.com:password

... However, when a reply is posted via email, how can the reply email be retrieved and posted back to RT?

Should I use a local email account on the server instead of gmail? Maybe use rt at mydomain.com<mailto:rt at mydomain.com>? What would be the best, fairly simple and reliable solution?

I've searched the web for definitive guides on RT email integration, can you point me to a detailed setup for allowing email notifications and replies/comments via email?

Thanks much.

hydn
