*Hi Everyone,
*
I've got a serious problem with our RT installation, which has worked
smoothly for over 6 months and then stopped sending emails (any kind
of emails: corresponcende, cc, owner change notifications etc.)
The weird thing is that there where no prior changes in queues, no
new users and no modification of rights.
I've looked through the mailing archives of this list and found some
postings of similar problems but could not derive a solution for my
case.
Here is a short snippet from /var/log/messages:
(The actual requester was replaced with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")

Test #4
Note: There are no outgoing mails recorded here. If I reply to Test
#4 I get the following:
This message will be sent to...
/(Check boxes to disable notifications to the listed recipients)/
On Correspond Notify AdminCcs with template Admin Correspondence
On Correspond Notify Requestors and Ccs with template Correspondence
* *To*: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On Correspond Notify Other Recipients with template Correspondence
On Correspond Notify Owner with template Correspondence
* *To*: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Messages about this ticket will not be sent to...
/(Check boxes to enable notifications to the listed recipients)/
-> Still there is no email sent.
Additional information:
Last week I found a posting in a forum / mailing list - archive
concerning the message: No recipients found. Not sending.
And an actual reply from the poster, stating that he did not have the
"organization" set to the DNS name of the host and that this was the
problem. I had a look and found that this was also the case here, so
I changed the value to the correct setting. Afterwards it *looked*
like the problem was solved - after restarting the apache2 service I
was able to successfully test the system and it was sending mails.
Today it stoped sending mails again and all my tests yielded the same
results as before.

If anyone has any idea how to get that thing working in a stable way
again I'd be very happy as I've been tinkering around with the system
for a very long time now.
Thanks in advance!
