Issues created by e-mail don't create an on-the-fly user
0%
Description
With LDAP set up to create on-the-fly users, users that have not yet logged into Redmine are recorded as Anonymous when submitting an issue by e-mail.
It would be good to create a new user based on the e-mail instead, or at least record the e-mail address. Currently there is no contact information recorded unless the user included it in the body of their message.

I think I have created something like this for a client. They are using LDAP as their user database and we've changed the incoming mail handler to support creating users on the fly.

Thanks Eric.
I had a look at the create_user_from_email method in the MailHandler. Seems like it should be possible to add the on-the-fly creation there as well. If I get anything working, I'll post some code here.

Is any work solution for new user creation ?

+1, we really would need this for customers which are not registered on the redmine server, but easily sumbit bug reports. We would ar least need to have the email saved in a field in the ticket to feedback if the problem was solved. Better would be if the customer gets an user automatically with default configurable role.

I'm not sure, but perhaps this function is efficient if not using LDAP. Try the command:
rake redmine: email: receive_pop3 RAILS_ENV = "production" host = "YourMailHost" port = 110 username = "MailUser" password = "MailPassword" unknown_user = create no_permission_check = 1

Tx. we use ldap, but "unknown" user shall be created as redmine local, to this is quite ok for us. I am sking me how the mandatory user fields useid, surname and name are filled from just the email adress ? There is no explanation how this works.
