Is there any instructions or tips on how to add a bunch (100-1000) of
non-priviledged users to RT?
I know I read that customers can send mail to RT and create a ticket but is
there a mechanism where it can grab mail from an exchange mailbox and then
process that as a ticket? for example all mail that goes to
support@domain.com mailto:support@domain.com should be sent to the
support queue.

Yes you can use fetchmail. Is you do a search in the archives you will
find lot’s of examples on how to do this.
Or if you do a google search on fetchmail and exchange (or imap) there
will be examples on how to do this.
But for what it is worth:
You create a .fetchmailrc file in the users home directory that will be
checking the email
And to use this with exchange I think you would enter this in the
.fetchmailrc file:
poll mail.server.ca with proto IMAP timeout 200 user ‘rttest@server.ca’
password ‘tar12345’ is ‘rt@localhost’ here
My syntax might be off
Then then add this to your rc.local file:
fetchmail -daemon 120 (where 120 is the number of seconds delay between
each check of the server for email)

You can just create a ‘contact’ in AD and then cc all email destned for your techsupport@domain.com to that contact if you wish to keep a copy within exchange. There are a few benefits to doing it this way, not to mention its really easy to get up and running.-----Original Message-----
