[Rtir] RT / RTIR not sending mail to Correspondents when launching an investigation

[marek.kreul at lhsystems.com]

Hi,

sorry for not mentioning this. We're running RT 4.2.9 and RTIR 3.2, so we're up-to-date. We've started with the beta versions in November and upgraded to the final versions when they became available.
I've solved the problem for us by creating(!) a Snip "On Create Notify Correspondents" as we've disabled the "on create autoreply to requestors". It wasn't clear to us that this snip is responsible for sending email to the correspondents upon creating an investigation. 
The settings for "On create notify correspondents" are:
Condition: On create
Action: Notify Requestors
Template: Correspondence
Applies to: Investigations

I hope we're not running into any unforeseen problems with this workaround, but until now it seems to be just what we needed.

You've not said what versions (I've divined 4.2.9 from your logs, but the RTIR version is also important).  You also should say if this is a fresh install or an upgrade.

Have you disabled scrips in the system?  Namely, anything having to do with On Create Notify?  I don't see anything firing that would do On Create Notify Requestors or the default On Create Autoreply to Requestors scrips.
