DESCRIPTION

This extension allows you to manage tickets via email interface. You may put commands into beginning of a mail, and extension will apply them. See the list of commands in the RT::Interface::Email::Filter::TakeAction docs.

CAVEAT: commands are line oriented, so you can't expand to multiple lines for each command, i.e. values can't contains new lines.

SECURITY

This extension has no extended auth system; so all security issues that apply to the RT in general also apply to the extension.

INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL

make

make install

May need root permissions

Edit your /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm

Add this line:

Set(@Plugins, ( @Plugins, "RT::Extension::CommandByMail" ));

As well as:

Set(@MailPlugins, qw(Auth::MailFrom Filter::TakeAction));

If you already have a @MailPlugins configuration line, add Filter::TakeAction after any authentication plugins (such as Auth::MailFrom or Auth::Crypt).

Restart your webserver

CONFIGURATION

$CommandByMailGroup

You may set a $CommandByMailGroup to a particular group ID in RT_SiteConfig. If set, only members of this group may perform commands by mail.

$CommandByMailHeader

You may set this configuration value to the name of a header to examine as well. For example:

Set($CommandByMailHeader, "X-RT-Command");

$CommandByMailOnlyHeaders

If set, the body will not be examined, only the headers.
