Joaquim,

1) Have mail sent to help@mydomain.com inserted as a ticket into the system

You need to configure your email server in such a way that all emails sent to helpdesk@ are saved in a specific folder. Then create an IMAP/POP3 email account in Eventum, and setup a cron job to regularly download emails saved in that folder.

2) Have the sending user receive an automated ticket response

The sending user can receive an automated response, but you will need to create a ticket for the email in order for this to happen. See the 'Auto-Creation of Issues' link after you create your email account above.

3) Have this done so that the "filter" is invokved via the .qmail-file (this lessens the load on the system, instead of having to have cron handle this).

If you want to have qmail process emails sent to a specific address, then the email routing feature is exactly what you want. It will handle emails sent to a specific address like issu@support.example.com, but you need to setup qmail to make this happen.

Have qmail run the /path-to-eventum/misc/route_emails.php script, passing the associated email account as the first argument to that, and pass the full email as standard input.
