We did this in the MTA (in our case 'exim') and with an extra RT-Queue
named 'trash' :-)  How to do this exactly, depends on the MTA-Program.

Bounces, and by the same method blatant SPAMs too, are redirected
from the normal incoming queue to the queue named 'trash' and this
extra 'silent' queue never does any 'correspondence' automatically.

A few times per day we look into the trash-queue for false positves
and throw away all the 'real garbage'.

That's what 'take' is for - only one worker can 'take' a ticket.
(But it depends on the discipline to 'take first, then answer'!)

Less strict would be to 'look for open state', which is set on
answering, but will fail if multiple workers look into one queue.

For more than those, you will have to define state(s) and create
new scrips I believe.

Having read only the last thee mails and not much time now,
I only want to tell, we did exactly tht, we did split a
multi-tenant RT into (only!) two sepearte instances.

Here were some more inssues than simply multi-versus-sigle
group usage. But one of the reasons might be important.

The overall-rights-matrix on only-one-userbase makes it
difficult to wall in each of the groups, so they never
see or notice one of the others.  It *is* possible, but
error-prone, if the 'groups' try to administer their own
'set of queues'.  One wrong click or 'right' and information
leaks will happen.  In sigle-tenant-setups this stays
impossible and virtual hosts are relatively cheap.

Re: [rt-users] Creating Tickets from forwarded emails?

I second that, having seen lots of these in the years we use RT.
(Even if 'we' normally have some 'Bounce'-Method, it sometimes fails).

AND just by coincidence I aM searching for the same(!?) Solution for
another Problem!

IF somebody creates a kind of 'umbrella list' for errors/support-calls,
and one of the recipients is a RT-queue, then this queue
- must not reply to the list (else we get loops)
- does not use (know?) the real sender for the requestor, but uses
  the liSts sender/reply-to address.

The latter is the same problem as 'forwarded' in this thread.
Only there never can be anybody, to fix it by explicitely setting
some Adresses -- the only way would be a 'scrip' or 'Filter'
to switch from (whateber RT does now) to preferring/accepting
the ORIGINAL 'From: address' Header.

Did somebody see such a fix?

Thanks,   Stucki

Why not turn this around?  Create a queue which creates the outgoing
mails (to users) as an 'answer' (by template) and start the works
by sending mails 'faked from the addresses to send to'.

So the 'fakes' create the tickets, the tickets create the mails to
the users, and the users reply as usual...

I had such behavior, when my MTA (in my case exim, not postfix)
always believed the delivery had failed and retried forever.
So try to find out, which returncode comes from rt's mailgate,
and which returncodes postfix does accept as 'correctly delivered'.
