If you have enabled 'ticket_update' in email2trac.conf then you have to choose one of this options to make it work:

  • Configure trac notification, eg:
          (ticket address: ticket@test.nl)
          [notification]
          smtp_enabled = true
          smtp_always_cc = test@test.nl
          smtp_server = localhost
          smtp_from =  ticket@test.nl
          always_notify_reporter = true
    
  • Use the mailto_cc in email2trac.conf if you want to send an email to the ticket email address.
