Re: [otrs] IP from header

2013-03-27 Thread David Boyes
Given that most customers don't control their mail servers (or use someone 
else's), can you explain a bit more what you're trying to accomplish? Listing 
the IP addresses of Google's mail servers really won't give you much useful 
information.

Subject: [otrs] IP from header

Hello,

Is it any easy way I can display the IP from the header to the agent? Today the 
agent need to click Plain format if he want to see the IP that the customer 
sending the email from. I would like to display the IP in the menu right at all 
time.

Thanks.

I think he's got an internal situation where he needs the ip of the
submitting user... If dhcp, I don't see how that's necessarily going to
help, and if it's static, (IMO), This can be stored with the Customer
information as an additional field.

Further, if the IP address relates to a remote control application, either
the remote control application should have this user-ip label matching or a
reverse-help connection may be useful: client downloads and runs a helpme
application -- VNC with reverse server connection that calls home is one
example. TeamViewer QuickSupport is another.

Yeah. Parsing mail headers won't give him a reliable indicator of the source IP 
he'd need for that, and If you had a static IP address, there's already a way 
to handle those.
