Email problems - Association with Queue

Hi, I’ve followed the Wiki RHEL installguide,

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?RHEL4InstallGuide

But. there is one thing I want to do and don’t understand how!

I have a server that’s rt.mydomain.com, and other that is mail.mydomain.com,
that is the mail server of my domain.

I want that mail that is sent to helpdesk@mydomain.com in server
mail.mydomain.com to be linked to the Helpdesk queue in rt.mydomain.com.

How do I configure this? It seems very simple, but yet, I don’t know how to
do it in RT …

Best Regards,

Carlos Bruno

You can create an email alias on mail server with destination address
helpdesk@rt.mydomain.com or whatever you can.

Let’s suppose I create, via the web interface, a Queue named Queue1.

From that moment, without any other config, It’s supposed for me to receive
in rt the emails sent to queue1@rt.mydomain.com ???

It’s not happening…

Carlos Silva

Carlos,
You have to create the alias on the server in the mail aliases file.
Look up the man page for aliases for your flavor of UNIX and make those
changes. On Red hat it is in /etc/aliases. Then when you are finished
you have to run newaliases for it to take effect. I believe this is
spelled out in the rt-mailgate instructions.

Yes, I created the alias on /etc/aliases, like in the instructions:

rt: “|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue general --action correspond --url
http://rt.mydomain.com/
rt-comment: “|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue general --action comment --url
http://rt.mydomain.com/

I don’t have any newaliases command… and I’m using Qmail.

But, when I send an email to general@rt.mydomain.com, I get the following
email back…

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at calisto.lenaindustria.pt.
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.

general@rt.mydomain.com:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

What do you think?
It looks like it’s ignoring the /etc/aliases… qmail uses it from another
way? Maybe /var/qmail/alias/ ?? But the files there have different syntax
from /etc/aliases…

Hints?

I’m thinking on removing qmail and installing the old sendmail… :frowning: has I
only use smtp on this server for RT.

Carlos Silva

Normal behaviour :slight_smile:
According to your /etc/aliases config, the e-mail associated to your
‘general’ queue is rt@rt.mydomain.com

Carlos Silva a �crit :

to set general@rt.mydomain.comyour as your email front-end for your
‘general’ queue, your /etc/aliases file should be as below

general: “|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue general --action correspond --url

LOL… I remembered that while having lunch… just arrived now, going to try that. Sometimes when you follow the tutorials you stay so blind you just don’t see the things, just copy-paste.
