Description

If importing issues using the following command

/usr/bin/rake -f /opt/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_pop3 RAILS_ENV="production" host=xxxxxx username=xxxxxx password=xxxxxx project=xxxxxx allow_override=project,tracker,category,priority unknown_user=create no_permission_check=1 tracker=support

In some cases mails will be left on the server with the message:

--> Message <xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx.com> NOT processed and left on the server

When sending a mail with a MailAutherName containing danish special chars "æøå" the mail will be ignored.

It's not a problem creating the user in the system using æøå only the auto creation that fails.

Rails version: 2.3.5

History

This is an issue for me as well. Living Sweden we have the letters ÅÄÖ åäö in the alphabet.
Now when using unknown_user=create the mails from the imap server is marked as read but is not delivered to Redmine. If I set the rake to use unknown_user=accept the mails will go through but then of course the user will be set to anonymous and won´t get an account and therefor not any follow ups on the issues.

Cheers!

Hi!,

I'm having the same problem with latin caracters. I think that it can be treated as an important feature.

Anyone know of a workaround for this?, this is quite game breaking for us unfortunately.

I just made a Python class that connects to the IMAP server and then creates a user for each ignored email (those marked as "Seen"). I currently use it in my cron.

  • Status changed from New to Closed
  • Target version changed from Candidate for next minor release to 1.3.0
  • Resolution set to Fixed

This should be fixed by r7952. There are now defaults for login/firstname/lastname when those extracted from the email are not considered valid.

If you still have problem with user creation after r7952, please attach a raw email so I can do some testing.
