(sorry if this is a repeat, my email crashed, not sure if it got sent)
Hello all,
I am using RT 3.2.3 on Fedora Core 2.
The install is working and I can create tickets via the web and the
users receive email from RT confirming the tickets creation and changes.
However when I email rt@myserver no tickets get created. Now the box is
receiving the emails I have checked that.
This is a copy of my aliases file entries:
rt: “|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action
correspond --url http://localhost/”
rt-comment: “|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action
comment --url http://localhost/”
How can I check why nothing is being generated?
I guess you have noticed I am very green when it come to RT.
Thanks!
The following thread from the archives should walk you through
troubleshooting. Try the steps in there and then if you are still stuck
report back with what you tried and what the results were. Also, mention
what mail server you are using.
Ok.
So I followed the instructions given in the link provided.
If I try to invoke rt-mailgate from the command line this is what I am
entering:
/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action correspond --url http://localhost/
When I enter this command I get nothing back and it looks like it hangs.
So email gets to my server but when rt-mailgate is invoked I guess
nothing is happening.
I checked /var/log/messages and there is no error reported.

No quite… your idea is right the methodology isn’t 100%.
Find your smrsh binary.
Do a → strings -a smrsh | “/”
The output will be something like…
/lib/ld-linux.so.2
@(#)$Id: smrsh.c,v 8.63 2003/12/15 17:12:29 ca Exp $
/etc/mail/smrsh
/usr/bin:/bin
/bin/sh
Cannot exec /bin/sh: %s
@(#)$Id: errstring.c,v 1.19 2003/12/10 03:53:05 gshapiro Exp $
I/O error
.
.
.
The two key lines are: (they may be different values depending on how it
was compiled)
/etc/mail/smrsh
/usr/bin:/bin
The first is where smrsh will look for either the binary (rt-mailgate) or
the link to the binary.
The second is where smrsh will only accept links to point to.
So if you have rt-mailgate in say /opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate, linking from
/etc/mail/smrsh won’t work. You need to put a link from /usr/bin or /bin
(in this case) to /opt/… and then a second link from /etc/mail/smrsh to
the /usr/bin or /bin link. Of course you could just copy the binary, but
upgraded become messy.
Finally, ensure your trusted-users values are valid if you have that
initialized in sendmail.

Unsurprising.
rt-mailgate is a filter: it expects to be fed an RFC-2822 mail message
on it’s standard input. Did you try
$COMMAND_LINE_ABOVE <mail-message-in-file
?

Whats the output from your mail logs when a message is emailed into the

The problem is most likely on the MTA (sendmail) side than RT. But by
examining the logs we can narrow that down.
FWIW, this part of RT was the least troublesome to get working for me…
