I've configured redmine to recive mails from external IMAP-Server by using a cron-job. The cron-job is done with a shel-script:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rubygems/bin:/usr/local/rubygems/gems/bin
export RUBYLIB=/usr/local/rubygems/lib
export GEM_HOME=/usr/local/rubygems/gems
cd /home/htdocs/redmine
/usr/local/bin/rake --trace redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=mail.server.tld username={username} password={password} folder=INBOX tracker=Sonstiges status=Neu priority=Normal move_on_success=INBOX.read move_on_failure=INBOX.failed allow_override=project,tracker,priority,status
  • if i get a Ticket-E-Mail from Redmine and answer to it, the answer will be addet to the ticket.
  • if i send a E-Mail to the same redmine-email-adress, it will be moved to INBOX.failed. i've no idea how to format the subject or the mail to create a issue.
  • i enabled IMAP-Trace (add: Net::IMAP.debug = true in /var/www/redmine/lib/redmine/imap.rb after require …)
  • i send the following mail:
Subject: [Test-Projekt demo] (Neu) Neue Tickets per E-Mail erstellen.
Message: Test-Projekt demo

letzter Versuch für heute. Wenn das nicht klappt, muss ich halt noch mal recherchieren.

and got this Trace:

i tryed also to send a full set of paramenter like:

You could try using the internal name for your Project and see if that fixes it? Also, does it make a difference to put the description before the information tags?

here is the issue-text

Project: test-projekt-demo
Tracker: Unterstützung
Priority: Hoch
Status: Feedback

Also, because my email submissions will be coming from non-technical people, I don't expect them to get the formatting correct. So, I also created a private Uncategorised Issues project, which I set as the default to receive issues, if the project is incorrectly specified. I then manually move them once a day.

/usr/local/bin/rake --trace redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=mail.server.tld username={username} password={password} folder=INBOX tracker=Sonstiges status=Neu priority=Normal project=uncategorised-issues move_on_success=INBOX.read move_on_failure=INBOX.failed allow_override=project,tracker,priority,status

The rest of your settings and formatting seem fine. I presume you've already read this, but just in case: RedmineReceivingEmails.

Cheers,

Jamie.

RE: recive email to create issues - Added by S Banerian over 14 years ago

I have been able to receive emails; it is critical to the the "FROM" (sender) right, but debug logs are not sufficiently verbose to allow one to find errors.

The problem I have is perhaps related:

The issue is created, but the lines:

Project: myproject
Tracker: Bug
Priority: Urgent
Status: New

are not totally considered. Project works, but Tracker and Priority never get set.

RE: recive email to create issues - Try sending new mail instead of replying to a mail - Added by Prasad Babu A Bhat over 11 years ago

I had similar issues, but is resolved now.
When I reply to a mail, notes are added to the issues.
When I reply to a mail, by deleting all including subject and then Adding Necessary Attributes in E-Mail body the mail is still updated as a note.
When I write a new mail (not a reply), with necessary Attributes in E-Mail body, new issue is created.
On viewing previous mails, I noticed the presence of header fields "message-id" and "in-reply-to", which still carried enough information for Redmine to process the mail to be updated as a note, considering that Redmine is well programmed to process all available headers of an E-Mail.

So the simple solution is to Send A New Mail with necessary Attributes, and Not A Reply To A Mail

Note: Make sure to give only Default Value to some Attributes, if any is declared to have a default value during new Issue creation.
