this could actually be answered in either of two ways:
We have some queue names that have spaces in them. Is there a way to
get email to actually work with those queues? the address is purchasing@,
and I have this in /etc/aliases:
The only difference between this entry and the 8 other queues involved is
that there is are spaces in the queue name. When someone sends mail to
this queue they get this back:
There has been an error:
There has been an error with your request:
You don't have permission to create requests in this queue. Either
you're not a queue member or non-members aren't allowed to create
requests in this queue.
Though the queue is set up to allow non-members to open new tickets.
If spaces are not going to work, then can I change the queue name to a
single word with no spaces using MySQL directly, or is there some
recommended utility for this?
Thanks for the help,

I can’t speak to whether stripmime is space-safe for queue names, but
using single quotes should work. when you use double quotes within
a double quoted string, most parsers get confused.

when I take stripmime out of the mix your suggestion worked. I’ll take a
look at the stripmime script and see if I can figure out the queue name
parsing - probably it just needs to be adjusted to re-quote the queue_id

sendmail, as well as most other applications, will barf completely on a line
like that. You have the right idea about quoting the queue name because
there are spaces, but, take a look at the whole line… you start the line
with the alias, a colon, the pipe, a QUOTE, the command, another quote… and
that is where it falls apart. It sees the second quote as the one that
CLOSES the start of the first quote.
You can either escape the second quote with the backslash:
purchasing: |"/usr/local/rt/bin/stripmime “BusOffice -
Purchasing” correspond"
Or, you can use a single quote:
purchasing: |"/usr/local/rt/bin/stripmime ‘BusOffice -
Purchasing’ correspond"
Personally, though, to prevent headaches, you might want to consider removing
the spaces from the queue name all together…
That does work fine for stripmime. We have spaces in some queue names and
use the qouting that jesse used below, it works just fine with stripmime.On Tue, 20 Feb 2001, Jesse wrote:
