Email Piping Failed

FYI I was having the same problem, searched the forums, found this post, went and re-read in the installation tutorial again and found my problem.

 

I was testing using my email account which was the same as the email for my account in WHMCS. I tested from a personal email account and it worked perfectly!

 

Another FYI I use Google for my email so I went into my WHMCS admin account and added "+support" to my email name and it worked! So my admin bob@mydomain.com changed to bob+support@mydomain.com

 

Google ignores the "+" but it's good for filters and labels and WHMCS :-)

Sorry let me clarify the Google setup:

 

Let's say my Google email is bob@gmail.com and I setup myself as an admin in WHMCS and also use bob@gmail.com as my account email.

 

Next I setup a private support department called tickets@mywhmcs.com server so when a client sends me a request for help I send/forward that email to tickets@mywhmcs.com and I have it set to auto create a ticket. I can address the problem or one of my people.

 

Problem is WHMCS will not accept and create a ticket from an email that matches the admin account. So it won't take an email from bob@gmail.com because the admin account is also bob@gmail.com.

 

So gmail will accept the "+" sign so in WHMCS I set my email for my admin account to be bob+support@gmail.com.

 

Now the WHMCS system will accept and create a ticket from bob@gmail.com

 

I hope this helps :-)
