PATCH

If you are using RT 3.6.0 or earlier, you MUST apply a patch in order to use this extension.

Patch(es) are in patch directory. Apply patch with following commands:

cd /opt/rt3
patch -p0 <path/to/patch/command_by_mail-<patch version>-RT-<rt version>.patch

Use the patch with the greatest <patch version> -- old patches are shipped with the distribution so you can revert old patch(es) and apply the new one on upgrades.

If you are using RT 3.6.1 or later, you no longer need to apply a patch.

CONFIGURE

Add 'Filter::TakeAction' to the list of mail plugins in RT_SiteConfig.pm. (You'll need to add Auth::MailFrom to the list as well if you want to run the test suite. Auth::MailFrom is distributed with RT as RT::Interface::Email::Auth::MailFrom.)

Restart web server.

Note that Filter::TakeAction should be pushed into list after Auth::MailFrom or any similar plugin that loads a current user object.

You can do this by adding the following line to your RT::SiteConfig:

@MailPlugins = qw(Auth::MailFrom Filter::TakeAction);

If you are running RT-3.8 you will need to use slightly different syntax

Set(@MailPlugins, qw(Auth::MailFrom Filter::TakeAction));

You will also need to add RT::Extension::CommandByMail to your Plugins list.

Set(@Plugins,(qw(RT::Extension::CommandByMail)))

There is an optional configuration option CommandByMailGroup Set($CommandByMailGroup, group_id);
You can find the id in 3.8 by browsing to Configuration -> Groups

Enjoy.
