Mail Sorting issue...

Post by online14230 »

Hi There,
I work for a company that works on multiple web based systems. At all our clients, we have our own people who we refer to as Workgroups.
In our head office, we have 3 people who provide support to our workgroups as well as suppliers who use these systems.
When any person wants support, they normally mail us on support@mycompany.com.

Now, Ive been asked to try to find a way to keep a more accurate record of what issues we are dealing with... in an effort to develop standard responses etc to issues.
I checked out a few ticketing apps and I decided on OTRS, since its one of a very few that are THAT easy to setup. I have very basic web dev skills and very little else. I am able to deploy apps to the web, I am well versed with bash scripting and am able to accomplish tasks quite quickly, teaching myself what I need to know. (which is why I was asked about this). Please keep in mind that this is a task that I am NOT being paid for... Its so I have something to do while Im waiting for our developer to finish our DAM system.

Now, with setting up OTRS, I seem to have hit a brick wall that happens to be a decider for me. I have created all user accounts, customer companies etc and Ive also setup my queues succesfully as Product A, B and C... with the three of us splitting the load based on the systems where we excel. Unfortunately, I have absolutely NO idea how to direct incoming mails to support@mycompany.com to the different queues based solely on the Mail SUBJECT. This happens to be the ONLY thing stopping me from making the system live.
Basically, when a user sends a mail to the support address, they will title it eg System and then in the body list certain details and also provide screenshots. A sample mail would be

Subject: Fogra
Body: Our Printer certification is no longer valid. Please arrange for our machine to be calibrated. (For other issues, they basically provide a step-by step to et to any error experienced)
All mails would also have a signature, which I would like to strip out as well as the included AV line.
I suspect I should be using filters to sort out this issue, but I have no idea how to set this up... Or I could be wrong, and Im asking for something that has not yet been implemented...

In any case, thanks for any positive input!

Two Helium atoms were talking ... The first one says, "I think I just lost an electron!" The second one says, "Are you sure?" The first one says, "I'm positive!"

Anyway, PostMasterFilter may be your friend.
