[rt-users] RT-Extension-CommandByMail <- I can't update tickets by mail

[Chris McClement]

Thanks Jim, that solved it!

For completeness, I did run the install again. Here's how it went:

[root at myserver RT-Extension-CommandByMail-2.01]# perl Makefile.PL
Using RT configuration from /opt/rt4/lib/RT.pm:
etc        => /opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Extension-CommandByMail/etc

                                             /lib/perllocal.pod

I suspect the "Skip blib/lib/RT/Interface/Email/Action/CommandByMail.pm
(unchanged)" may not have worked had I not done that manual copy. However I
am unsure as to why it didn't copy over the in the first place. Never mind,
it's working and I managed to resolve my test ticket with an email message.
