It looks like custom fields can not be required and the project needs to be "public" or anonymous email creation will fail.

Indeed. These rules also apply to ticket creation via email.

Hello,
I updated Redmine to latest stable version (0.8.7) but Redmine still not accepts emails from unknown users.
Project for sure is "public" and there are no custom fields assigned to the "support_1" project (and at all custom fields are no required in Redmine).

The command is as follows:
rake -f /apps/redmine-0.8.7/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap unknown_user=accept RAILS_ENV="production" host=mail.myhost.com port=143 folder=Inbox project=support_1 username=mymailusername password=mymailpassword

In mailbox I see the mails are marked as read after script execution.

What I'm doing wrong? How can I debug that?

My environment (don't know how to get rails version):
Redmine 0.8.7 stable (mySQL)
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux]
gem 1.3.5

Thank you very much for help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to be sure, updated rails to version 2.3.4

Thank you.

Jaroslav, this feature is not available in the 0.8 stable branch.
It's currently in trunk and will be part of 0.9.

Does it already work that users, whom are authenticated but non-member off any project, can create issues via mail in 0.9.2 to a non-public project?

My enviroment:
Redmine 0.9.2 stable (MySQL)
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i486-linux]
gem 1.3.5
Rails 2.3.5

I recieve mails via imap and recently updated redmine from 0.8.6 to 0.9.2

before:
rake -f /root/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" project=frei tracker=Allgemein priority=urgent status=new allow_override=project,tracker,category,priority host=ipaddress username=mailuser password=mailpw

that works when i changed models/user.rb to:

def allowed_to?(action, project, options={})
…
role.allowed_to?(action) ### && (project.is_public? || role.member?) ###
…
end

after:
rake -f /root/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap unknown_user=accept RAILS_ENV="production" project=frei tracker=Allgemein priority=urgent status=new allow_override=project,tracker,category,priority host=ipaddress username=mailuser password=mailpw

and it still won't work... :(

Thank you for help.

Problem seems to be solved.

Changed the following thing:

<pre>
def allowed_to?(action, project, options={})
…
roles.detect { |role| (project.is_public? || role.member?) && role.allowed_to?(action) }
…
end
</pre>
in
<pre>
def allowed_to?(action, project, options={})
…
roles.detect { |role| (project.is_public? || role.member?) || role.allowed_to?(action) }
…
end
</pre>

Thanks!

Hi, I'm using v 0.9.3 and I cant make this to work. Its probably because the project isn't public...

I'm using no_permission_check=1 unknown_user=accept parameters. Emails are correctly red, but the issue isn't created.

If I send email with existing user, issue is created.

Regards,
Ivan

Oh, my projects ARE public, but I have authentication required in Administration -> Settings -> Authentication tab.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, removing authentication required lets my emails from anonymous trough.
