Hi Bjorn, I've been trawling through the Request Copy addon source code and have found the source of the problem that was preventing us from receiving the "Request item be made Open Access" administrator emails.
The problem was line 473 of "RequestItemServlet.java" ([dspace-src]/src/pt/uminho/sdum/dspace/requestItem/servlet/RequestItemS ervlet.java) which was set to use the "mail.from.address" rather than "mail.admin" (and as our "mail.from.address" is a 'dud' address, messages just disappeared down a black hole). Changing line 473 to: adm.setField(email.FIELD_TO, ConfigurationManager.getProperty("mail.admin")); - appears to have fixed the problem for me. I hope that helps, Mike P.S. What version of DSpace are you using? I was initially unable to compile this addon with v1.4.1 due to uncaught exceptions in one of the DSpace servlets that the addon replaced (ItemTag.java or BitstreamServlet.java, can't remember which now) - on closer inspection I realised that the addon was using older versions of these servlets (the later version in DSpace v1.4.1 appeared to have significant differences), so I ended up going through the addon versions of the servlets and copying over the addon code to the DSpace v1.4.1 versions - it all appears to be working fine now, but I wondered if this was "just me" or if it was something that others ought to look out for . . . .
