I need an open-source self-hosted ticketing system installed, configured, and ready for daily use integrated with emails (Microsoft Office 365) with following goals: 1. 1. Any new incoming email instantly opens a ticket. 2. Replies on the same thread must append to the original ticket, while different subjects spin up fresh tickets. 3. Tickets should route themselves to the correct internal agent or group based on predefined rules. 4. The solution must recognize and process mail sent to multiple addresses across the various domains we use. 5. Should be branded, should not give third party logos, or watermarks Emails used are hosted with Microsoft 365 (Primary), third-party hosting company and gmail Preferred stack I have experimented with Zammad and Frescout; Zammad (latest stable release) looks promising, yet I am open to any other open-source system that can meet every requirement above. Working style Because the server is on-prem, credentials cannot be shared. All installation and configuration will happen during a live screen-sharing session that we will schedule together. Deliverables • Clean installation of the chosen help-desk on our server • Full email integration with Office 365 and external domains • Rule set or scripting that enables automatic ticket assignment Branded with company name and logo, Should not give third party logos, or watermarks • Brief hand-over guide so we can add new agents, addresses, or rules ourselves Once the platform runs smoothly in daily use and the guide is handed over, the project is complete.

I can help you set up a clean self-hosted ticketing system and configure the email flow properly for daily use. Your brief is clear, and I understand the key part is making sure new emails create tickets correctly, replies stay in the same thread, and routing rules work reliably across Microsoft 365 and your other inboxes. I’m also comfortable working in a guided live session on your on-prem server since credentials cannot be shared. Once the setup is stable, I can provide a short handover guide so your team can manage agents, inboxes, and rules easily.

Hi there, I’ll set up a fully self-hosted, open-source ticketing system (like osTicket or Zammad) tailored to your needs. The system will be configured to automatically create a new ticket from any incoming email via Microsoft Office 365 using IMAP with secure authentication. I'll ensure real-time email polling, proper message parsing, and correct ticket routing based on sender, subject, or custom rules. The installation will include: - Secure deployment on your server (Linux/Ubuntu recommended) - PHP-based backend setup with MySQL/MariaDB - Automated email ingestion via cron-triggered scripts - Custom HTML templates for ticket views and notifications - Integration with Office 365 using app-specific credentials and OAuth2 where applicable - Responsive frontend design for easy internal use All configurations will be documented, and the system will be ready for daily operations within 5 days. I’ll also provide basic training on managing tickets and monitoring email flow. Best Regards, Khorshed Alam, RS Software

Hi, I reviewed your need for a self-hosted open-source ticketing system installed on-prem, connected to Microsoft 365 so incoming emails instantly create tickets with correct threading. I’ll set up the chosen help-desk (including Zammad if it fits) with full email ingestion across multiple domains and send/receive integration for your daily workflow. I’ll configure routing rules so tickets automatically assign to the right agent or group, and ensure reply-on-same-thread appends while different subjects open new tickets, using scripting where needed. I focus on clean, reliable installs, careful on-prem configuration, and smooth hand-over so you can add addresses, agents, and rules later. Let’s discuss here now.

Hey, I can see the hidden pain here: you don’t just need a ticketing install , you need a dependable mail-to-ticket workflow that behaves correctly across multiple domains without creating duplicates or routing mistakes. I’ve set up and stabilized self-hosted web systems, email integrations, and rule-based automation before, including Office 365 and multi-address mailbox handling. For your setup, I’d focus on a clean Zammad-based deployment or another fit-for-purpose open-source help desk, then configure inbound mail processing, thread matching, assignment rules, and domain-specific routing so daily operations stay predictable. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I can start by reviewing your mail flow, required domains, and assignment logic during the live screen-sharing session, then hand over a clear admin guide for future changes. How are your mailboxes currently organized across Office 365, the third-party host, and Gmail? How are your mailboxes currently organized across Office 365, the third-party host, and Gmail? Do you need automatic routing by sender, mailbox, keyword, or department/group? Will you want one shared SLA/queue model or separate workflows per domain? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Thanks, Asad

My approach will be: to understand your specific needs for a self-hosted ticketing system integrated with emails, and then use my technical expertise to deliver a customized solution. Step 1 -> I will review your existing email setup with Microsoft Office 365 and other hosting companies to identify potential integration challenges. Step 2 -> I will assess the open-source ticketing systems, such as Zammad and Frescout, to determine the best fit for your requirements. Step 3 -> I will install and configure the chosen system on your on-prem server during a live screen-sharing session, ensuring that all credentials are kept secure.

Self-hosted ticketing with Office 365 mail integration is a well-worn stack — the tricky part is always the threading logic and making sure replies stay on the right ticket rather than forking into new ones. Here's the plan: Platform selection: Zammad or FreeScout are the strongest fits here — both support O365 via OAuth, handle reply threading by Message-ID header, and have routing rules out of the box. I'll confirm which suits your team size before deploying. Setup: Install on your server (or VPS), configure the O365 mailbox via OAuth app registration (no legacy SMTP needed), and set up inbound mail processing so every new subject line = new ticket, every reply-in-thread = appended note. Routing rules: Define your agent groups and auto-assignment logic based on subject keywords, sender domain, or category tags — whichever matches how your team actually works. Delivery: Fully working system with a short admin guide covering how to add agents, adjust routing rules, and manage the mail connection if the token ever needs refreshing. Which server environment are you hosting on (Ubuntu VPS, shared hosting, Docker)?

This is something I can assist with. I’ve worked on system setup and configuration tasks where the main challenge is not just installation, but getting the email behavior, assignment logic, and branding right so the platform is actually usable in production. Since you are open to Zammad or another open-source option, I can help choose the best fit based on your exact mailbox and routing needs. I can also work with your screen-sharing setup and keep the process smooth from install to handover.

Hi, I’ve read your requirements carefully, and I’m confident I can set up a reliable self-hosted ticketing system that handles Microsoft 365, Gmail, and third-party hosted mail exactly as needed. I can install and configure Zammad or recommend a better-fit open-source option, then implement the scripting and automation rules so new emails create tickets, replies stay threaded correctly, and routing sends requests to the right internal agent or group. My experience in Website Design and PHP-based web systems includes server-side configuration, email handling, and custom automation workflows for business platforms.
