[rt-users] WorkflowBuilderRules help

2009-03-06 Thread Marco Avvisano
Hi,

i have installed WorkflowBuilderRules in rt 3.8.2, but when i try to create 
rules
the script return this error (for every perl modules)

Can't  locate RT/Config.pm in @INC

suggestions?


It's possible to create a rule which depend from the customfield value, so 
different values
need different approvers?

for example  for different departments, it's possible to  create a rule so a 
dba-request is forwarded to different dba-group for approving ?


probabily this rules it's not correct..

 Set( $WorkflowBuilderStages,
   { 'RefRT approval' =
 { content = '.',
   subject = 'RefRT Approval for DBA: {$Approving-Id} - 
{$Approving-Subject}',

   owner = q!{{
Department1  = group_1,
Department2  = group_2}-{ 
$Approving-FirstCustomFieldValue('Department') }}! },
 });

  Set( $WorkflowBuilderRules,
  { 'DBA-Approval' = [ 'RefRT approval'],
 }
);


thanks for suggestions,

Marco

You can try exporting PERL5LIB before running the rt-worlflow command,
to set the path to your RT libraries manually.

Maybe www-data is the wrong user/group - please post the result of:

ls -l /usr/local/rt/var/data/RT-Shredder

and (for apache or httpd):

[rt-users] Attachments: error 404 with single quotes in filename

2009-03-06 Thread Bernhard Hansbauer

Hello,
I have recently posted an error with some attachments that can't be 
shown and produce a 404 error.

I have found that this problem comes up when the filename of the 
attachment contains a single quote, which is not translated into a 
proper URL and thus creates an invalid link.
As workaround, I have told our users to simply cut off the file name 
after the Transaction ID in the browser, for example to replace

https://rt.example.com/Ticket/Attachment/5475720/2674832/carte%20d%26%2339%3Bidentit%C3%A9e.doc
(the link created by an attachment called carte d'identitée.doc)
by:
https://rt.example.com/Ticket/Attachment/5475720/2674832/

The attachment will then be shown.
How can this be fixed? Any idea?

Thank you  regards
Bernhard

The future of AT is up to it's users. It works pretty well for many right now,

 I'm looking for a way to send an email with the information extracted from

You could write a program that extracts ticket information using the REST
interface and then emails it in whatever format you like.  But it would be
nice to simply have a button in the web interface that does email this
ticket history to watchers or some such.  Other ticket systems I've used
had that, so I was bit surprised to find that RT did not.

[rt-users] RT Emails Being Blocked by Various Providers

2009-03-06 Thread Timothy Kolosky

Hi, I have not really had any luck finding anything in the archives in regards 
to the following problem, so I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on 
the issue for us.

 

For some strange reason, it seems that (not sure if it is all or just some) 
users on AOL, Comcast, emails hosted by GoDaddy, and a few other less notable 
providers (these are the only ones I have been able to confirm thus far) are 
not receiving any of our emails that are generated by RT. A couple other 
providers (I think Yahoo! and maybe Hotmail/MSN or Gmail) are sending all our 
tickets to the junk mail folder. Test emails from our standard Exchange server, 
sent through Outlook, go through just fine, and even after adding our email 
address as a contact, the emails generated by RT still do not go through or end 
up marked as junk.

 

I know RT uses a different methodology of sending emails, and I assume the fact 
that it is an automatically generated message probably has something to do with 
this, but it is causing our Help Desk a lot of difficulty when over half our 
users do not receive any sort of response from us. You know how people can be, 
most of them don't leave any other contact information in these emails, and 
it's hard to discern exactly who needs to have emails sent separately.

 

I also know we cannot make the providers accept our emails, with any sort of 
success, so I was wondering if there is any way we can change our outbound 
emails from RT to not be blocked as spam?

 

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Tim Kolosky

Do you have an SPF record? As lovely as it is, many consumer-grade

We are not using our Exchange server with RT, it just uses a local SMTP server 
that goes to our corporate SMTP server and sends from there. I really don't 
understand the whole setup, nor am I familiar with SPF and PTR records. How are 
those set up, and on what system?

Then that's probably the problem. You're sending mail from something other
than the MX server for your domain. SPF and PTR are DNS recods.

SPF info at http://www.openspf.org/

PTR is for reverse mapping from IP to name. Yahoo stupidly requires this.

Re: [rt-users] RT Emails Being Blocked by Various Providers

2009-03-06 Thread Steven Christou
Local SMTP servers do not work good with sending emails out. This is
because most company email servers will detect that the email  is not
going through their server, so it will automatically  be considered spam
and receive high spam scores. The email server thinks that your computer
is infected with a virus sending out emails. As a Network Admin, I see a
lot of this type of stuff flying around (viruses sending out emails). If
you do not know how to use SMTP with RT, just put this in the
RT_SiteConfig.pm file:


Set($NotifyActor, 1); #sends email to person who made changes also (optional)

Set($UserFriendlyToLine, 1); #more user friendly when creating tickets

Set($MailCommand, 'smtp'); #we want smtp

Set($SMTPServer 'mail.server.com'); #This is your email SMTP server

Set($SMTPFrom, undef); #options from here below are optional

Set($SMTPDebug, 0);

Set($SendmailPath, 'undef');

Set($SendmailArguments, 'undef');



Hopefully this will help. I do not know the entire scenario, but maybe
it helped.

Thanks,
Steve

  I've not seen this. Are your messages being sent from the same server?
  Do you have an SPF record? As lovely as it is, many consumer-grade
  ISPs require SPF and PTR records.

are those set up, and on what system?

My RT server is configured using sendmail and I used the SMARTHOST directive.  
If you are using sendmail edit your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and remake your 
senmail cf.  Here is a brief tutorial

 PTR is for reverse mapping from IP to name. Yahoo stupidly requires this.

Inability to configure PTR records is a sign of incompetence.  Rejecting
mail from incompetently managed networks (based on whichever definition
of incompetence you're comfortable with) may be a good idea.

RFC 1912, while informational only, states that all IP addresses should
have corresponding PTR entries (and that all entries should be valid,
which seems really hard to grasp to many ISPs).  It dates from early 1996.
Section 2.1 in RFC 1912 deals with this issue.  The reverse DNS does not
need to be anything fancy, it only needs to exist (and be valid).

Saying that somebody is stupid for requiring this is a bit like writing
to the various DNSBLs of dynamically assigned IP address space and saying
that they have to remove your dynamically assigned IP address from their
list just because you say so (while admitting it yourself that it is
indeed dynamically assigned, helpfully making their point for them)...

Are you getting any actual hard bounces of mail sent by RT?  If so, what
do they say?

Re: [rt-users] RT Emails Being Blocked by Various Providers

Some mail environments are even more strict and require that the rDNS entry
of the IP address match with the corresponding forward DNS record.

With that said, I think it's reasonable that an owner of a mail server
sending legit email make sure that the IP address of their mail server have
an rDNS entry.
