Clients reply ticket by email?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have made the trial version working and it seems to me that the following feature is missing:

 

Tickets are created and staff responded, clients required to login their Client Area to update ticket.

 

I see that in Kayako, clients can simply reply to the email notice and the ticket will be updated.

 

 

Are there tweaks to enable this function?

oh? I have tried to reply by email, but the ticket doesn't update

 

ok, i find that it should be the problem of email piping

 

my whmcs is installed at domain.com/whmcs

at FTP, the pipe folder is located at public_html/whmcs/pipe/

so the piping command i expected to be : | php -q /public_html/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php

 

 

but it fails....i have tried to edit the path, but they do not work :roll:

 

 

I receive the followring error:

 

 

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

 

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its

recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

 

pipe to | php -q /public_html/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php

generated by ***email***

local delivery failed

 

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

 

------ pipe to | php -q /public_html/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php

generated by ***email*** ------

 

No input file specified.

Sorry if I'm hijacking a thread.... didn't know if I should continue in this one or create my own on the same subject...

 

I must be a complete idiot, but I can't for some reason get this to work...

 

I have the pipe in the forwarders section of my cpanel set to:

 

| php -q /home/USERNAME/public_html/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php

 

Where "USERNAME" is my username....

 

I send an email to that email address and it seems to have disappeared into a black hole or something....

 

I get no "bounced" email, and the support area shows now new support tickets (after about 15 minutes of waiting for it)

 

Any advice?

Regards,

Dusty

Ok... here's something I didn't think would happen.... Let me explain what we are doing.

 

We have WHMCS set up on a linux server and our main website is on a windows server. There are two different domains (windows server is ourdomain.com and linux server is ourdomain.net)

 

When I set up WHMCS support departments with ourdomain.net email addresses, tickets import just fine and everything works as expected. However, all our clients have our contact addresses as the .com addresses.

 

Soooooo I thought it would be no problem to just forward the .com email addresses to the .net addresses and it would import fine, but that didn't work... .I get DEPARTMENT NOT FOUND in the ticket mail import log. It also showed in the log that the email was "To:" the .com address, so I tried changing the department email address to the .com email.... still get DEPARTMENT NOT FOUND.

 

How can I get WHMCS to import these forwarded emails properly?

 

Edit Now I can't get any emails to import.... they are all coming up DEPARTMENT NOT FOUND...

 

Thanks again!

Dusty

Ok.... I've narrowed this down a bit..... somewhat concerning to me tho...

 

Emails coming from anywhere but the mail server I'm locally sending from (smtp.charter.net) seem to import successfully.......

 

HOwever, if I send an email from my local smtp server (smtp.charter.net), it seems to come back DEPARTMENT NOT FOUND every time.

 

Here's what I've done to test.

 

I reset the forward from the windows server to the ticket system. (.com to .net) and set the emails in the departments as the .com addresses.

 

I've sent emails from every email address I have set up that uses that smtp.charter.net outgoing server and every one says DEPARTMENT NOT FOUND in the log.

 

I've sent emails from the respective accounts above, but from their webmail areas (which use different outgoing mail servers) and they import successfully.

 

I've also sent emails in from yahoo and gmail accounts, and they import successfully.

 

Any idea why emails from my particular outgoing mail server (smtp.charter.net) would not import successfully?

 

Regards,

Dusty

I'm having the same problem. Pipe seems to be working fine, but if I forward an email from one account to the pipe mail account, it won't be imported and will show DEPARTMENT NOT FOUND. Can't emails be forwarded to the pipe account??

 

Also WHMCS won't import emails sent from Incredimail. It will show as BANNED EMAIL and here's how it's showing in the logs:

 

To:

From: «»

Subject: NO SUBJECT

 

Incredimail is configured right for all my accounts. Why would its emails be shown like that in the logs?

 

Can anybody shed some light on these issues?

I don't know if it will fix your issues, but Matt has an updated dbfunctions.php that we were sent for the problem with mail imports with a ' character. That was 8 days ago and we haven't had a single department not found since :)

Tks for your reply, PPH, but I don't think this issue is related to the '. It happens to every email that is forwarded to the configured support email.

 

Anyway, where is this updated file? I could replace it and run some tests.

TIA.
