NotificationSenderEmail

Specifies the email address that should be used by the application when sending notifications.

This setting can not be deactivated.

Default value:

otrs@<OTRS_CONFIG_FQDN>

Sendmail::DefaultHeaders

Defines default headers for outgoing emails.

This setting is not active by default.

Default value:

---
'Auto-Submitted:': auto-generated

Sendmail::Template

Defines a template for manipulating data mapping of outgoing emails. All email specific data are available for the mapping. Additionally any ticket related data including dynamic fields are provided if an article is sent. The following mappings: “To”, “From”, “Subject”, “Body” and “Charset” are added automatically, but can be overwritten. Desired additional email headers are set via the “CustomHeaders” element. Any empty element (e.g. due to missing mapping data) is rejected.
