Perldeks is working great however when a user sends a support request over email to lets say support@domain.com a confirmation is send out with a from adress mail@www.domain.com, this causes a lot of confusion to our clients.

Then when a staff member replies to the ticket the from adress is changed to sup@www.domain.com.

In the conf.pl file the ticket email is set to: support@domain.com and in perldesk the admin email is set to support@domain.com.
the email is pipped correctly however the only alias existing is support and nog mail/sup....

Any suggestions ????

Thanks Robbert

Sounds a bit like the email is set up incorrectly. How did you set up the email server for the domain? (Not the MX - just the site settings part)

In the 'site settings' part - there's a section for setting "Email Server Aliases"

Perhaps good to know.

I use http://support.domain.com

and let the email send to support@domain.com which should I alter

in domain.com is emailaliases .domain.com etc
in support.domain.com is nothing in email

Hmmm...
Just for a laugh try setting email for support.domain.com to domain.com
As I'm not using a sub-domain on my setup I have no idea whether that'll make any difference or not
:D

Can I transfer easily to www.domain.com/support instead of support.domain.com

No need to reinstall ?

You 'could' transfer without reinstalling, though you'd probably have to 'soft link' all the files, or use some kind of redirect...
Why not leave it the way it is for the moment?
I'm sure you'll be able to resolve the email issue.

Probably I will, but this is very frustrating getting every time the same question from a client. Who replies to a non-working email.

Set up a temporary alias for the email address and fix it properly later.
If you try to move the entire installation now you'll only make matters worse IMHO.

you mean create sup/mail @www.domain.com in support.domain.com


well to exact the response comes from the MAIN site so mail@www.domainMAIN.com
and not from mail@www.useddomain.com

To make it even stranger.....
