We have 14 different queues so using fetchmail to manage the email accounts is 
useful for us. But that is where the problem lies as well I think. Fetchmail 
doesn’t seem to be deleting the email from the inbox consistently. Sometimes it 
works and sometimes it doesn’t. I have gone the route of working with the 
Network Engineering team to see if there were any configuration changes or 
updates to exchange that may have done but came up with nothing. The emails get 
to their respective inboxes, then fetchmail (I have running in a crontab every 
minute) executes to pick up and send any emails to RT mailgate.:

Here is an example:

poll imap.corp.test.com proto IMAP and port 143:

# Team Queue
username team                      password 123456 mda 
"/opt/rt4/bin/rt-mailgate --url http://test --queue 'Team Requests' --action 
correspond"
username team-comments password 123456 mda "/opt/rt4/bin/rt-mailgate --url 
http://test --queue 'Team Requests' --action comment"

I know this isn’t a fetchmail forum, but any input would be gladly taken.

Thank You,

Is there some reason you can’t just have your exchange server forward the mail 
to RT and process it with rt-mailgate?

In general though, I would expect that if you’re sucking the mail from a pop3 
mailbox, and the mail is getting deleted from exchange it shouldn’t be an issue 
with fetchmail.

I guess the other question would be is if the mail messages are getting 
duplicated somehow (like via 2 different addresses) in the exchange mailbox, so 
fetchmail is pulling down 2 copies of the message because there’s 2 copies in 
the mailbox and dumping each into rt?

Subject: [rt-users] mail solutions

Hello,

My company has been using RT for years and has gone through a few upgrades. We 
are currently up to version 4.0.12. We also use fetchmail as our mailing 
solution to retrieve emails from our exchange 2010 servers. We have been 
encountering multiple ticket creation issues when email is only sent through 
fetchmail to RT. When creating tickets internally through RT there are no 
errors or multiple ticket issues. I am looking into a new mailing solution 
(Like getmail, etc) and wanted to get feedback from you all on what types of 
mailing solutions you are using. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank You,
