[rt-users] Reminders: What are they, can they (or something else in RT) be made to do this?

2009-06-08 Thread Faith Senie
I have looked through the Wiki and anything else I could find for full  
documentation of the purpose of the Reminders tickets, and I haven't  
found anything other than explanations of how to deal with problems  
with them (details of how to make them go away when the ticket they're  
based on is closed out, etc.).  So can someone explain what the major  
purpose of the Reminders tickets is?

Also, the functionality we were trying to achieve with them is the  
following, which they clearly don't do.  How do we do this?  We'd like  
to have a mechanism by which we can set a trigger in a ticket that  
will send the owner an email on a specified date that says, There's  
something you need to do with this ticket today.  It is not  
sufficient for it to put up a notice on the RT main page, as we don't  
normally open RT unless there's a new ticket or we're explicitly  
updating an existing one -- it must send email to the owner.  We don't  
want anything before the specified date, we want it on the specified  
date.  A one-time email on that date is sufficient.  Can Reminders be  
updated to do this, or is there another mechanism we could use to do  
this?

Thanks,
Faith

[rt-users] RT could not load a valid user issue

2009-03-15 Thread Faith Senie
We sent a reply to a customer from an existing ticket, and the  
customer replied to the email.  We had several hours of cron job  
failures this afternoon because of RT could not load a valid user,  
and RT's configuration does not allow for the creation of a new user  
for this email (custo...@example.com).  You might need to grant  
'Everyone' the right 'ReplyToTicket' for the queue General.

No problem, we got the cron job failures to go away by setting  
ReplyToTicket privs for Everyone.  The customer reply is now in place  
in the ticket.  But we're still getting the following errors in our  
logs after fixing that issue:

Mar 15 01:56:03 system RT: RT could not load a valid user, and RT's  
configuration does not allow for the creation of a new user for your  
email. (/opt/rt3/bin/../lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm:244)
Mar 15 01:56:03 system RT: Could not record email: Could not load a  
valid user (/opt/rt3/share/html/REST/1.0/NoAuth/mail-gateway:75)

They continue to appear every time our cron job runs to collect  
incoming emails.  We have ReplyToTicket and CreateTicket turned on for  
Everyone.  We have --queue General --action correspond in the  
argument list for rt-mailgate.  We are not running LDAP.  Why are we  
still getting these messages, and how do we get them to stop?
