Description

I'm following the official guide (https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/redminereceivingemails), trying to fetch ( IMAP ) and create new issues from emails.
Using Linux, launching redmine:6.1.1-trixie in docker (paired with postgres:14.5).
Allowed anonymous users to create an issue in the Redmine settings.
Created a project "test-project".

I use the body of the letter the same as the official guides:
This is a new issue that overrides a few attributes
[...]

Project: test-project
Tracker: Bug
Priority: Urgent
Status: New

For fetch, I run the following command:

docker compose exec redmine rake redmine:email:receive_imap \
  RAILS_ENV=production unknown_user=accept \
  host=<masked> starttls=true username=<masked> password=<masked>

and get this error:
E, [2026-01-12T10:54:36.953222 #161] ERROR -- : MailHandler: Validation failed: Tracker cannot be blank, Priority cannot be blank, Status cannot be blank

  • Status changed from New to Closed
  • Resolution set to Invalid

You need to specify the attributes which should be settable form the mail body with --allow-override or set --allow-override=all to allow all attributes to be set there.

Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to point out that I already tried with allow_override=all (and not --allow-override, because invalid option: --allow-override=all) but the situation has not changed:

➜ docker compose exec redmine rake redmine:email:receive_imap \
  RAILS_ENV=production unknown_user=accept \
  host=<masked> starttls=true username=<masked> password=<masked> \
  allow_override=all --trace
