Processing incoming email: Creates new request instead of appending to existing request

Processing incoming email: Creates new request instead of appending to existing request

Hi all,

We're having some issues with the automatic processing of emails to our SDP OnDemand instance. In most cases, an email sent to the correct address with ##RequestID## in the subject line (where RequestID is a valid, existing number,) will be added to the correct request conversation.

However yesterday we noticed for the first time that some emails were instead creating new requests. Following extensive testing today, I have been unable to reliably recreate this issue. To be clear, the problem (creating new requests) has occurred but not for reasons I can identify.

Is there anyone out there that could explain in more detail than I can find online how the emails are being processed and what may be causing this to happen?


Thanks in advance,

Alan

Below is a screenshot of the requests. 2097 was created to test against. 2098 and 2101 were created by the error described.
