Hi all,
I'd like to hear some experiences about managing external users that are not in our Directory.

Sometimes we have users who open support tickets by sending a mail with external (gmail/hotmail/...) e-mail addresses (e.g. if there are problems with their corporate e-mail).

Now, assuming we don't want to grant "Everyone" rights to create tickets to avoid possible DoS/Spam issues, we'd still like to have the possibility of going through these requests.

An option might be to use fetchmail/procmail to move all non-corporate domains to a "quarantine" e-mail address that is not automatically imported in the queue. We are protected using MailScanner and this might be enough to trust all incoming mail to be genuine, but if anyone's got some experience on this and maybe found a different solution I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks,
Giuseppe
