I Want to put the RT machine in the DMZ and have email that get to our
exchange 5.5 server as rt@example.com, be rerouted to rt@rt.example.com. If
possible I also want RT to use a remote sendmail, than the local one.
I have set up my RT server to receive email from an account in Exchange by
using fetchmail through an NT/Exchange account. I used the same username on
both RT and NT servers so as to make replying through NT easy. I’m still
using a local sendmail though.

Well, since (I think) RT doesn’t contain it’s own smtp routines, you’d have to use some sendmail type program on the rt machine, but that sendmail can be configured to send mail through another machine.
As far as RT getting mail from an exchange server, simply tell your exchange server to forward a copy of the mail from the receiving account to your RT account.
Be forwarned however, that what we’ve seen is that Exchange doesn’t appear to forward the mail immediately. This wouldn’t be a problem, except we’ve also seen cases where someone will look at the message in exchange, and then exchange never forwards a copy to rt.

Our Exchange admin set the inbound address (rt@example.com) as
a distribution list with the RT address (rt@rt.example.com) as
the only member. The RT local sendmail points to our mail gateway
as its smart relay.

Yeah, after checking with our Exchange admin, that’s exactly what he did. And YES, it still won’t forward a message that’s come in, and read in exchange, before the message is forwarded.
I suspect the exchange has a subthread that forwards the message, but only forwards unread messages.
You can test this by sending a message into exchange, and reading it, in Outlook, as soon as it hits that mailbox.
You won’t see this behavior unless you have people reading messages in Outlook, as well as Exchange.
