Incoming mail problems?

Hi;

I’m having problems getting my incoming mail to create tickets.

– [snip of /etc/aliases] –

Mail Queues for RT…

rt-comment: “|/opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action comment”
rt: “|/opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action correspond”

– [end snippet] –

I’ve ‘newaliases’ the sendmail stuff; however, when I try to send an email
to rt, I get a little error message:

Can an ‘elder’ on the list give me a good place to start looking? Any help
would be appreciated!

Your sendmail is configured to run programs via smrsh, which only permits
certain programs to be run. Check the FAQ or your system’s smrsh manpage
to find out how to enable smrsh to run rt-mailgate.

If your sendmail is setup to use smrsh, put a link in /etc/smrsh to
where your rt-mailgate is located, like /opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate
That worked for us on RH7.1

Hi,

I faced that one too.
You need to tell smrsh rt-mailgate is an authorised program. To do this,
create a link to rt-mailgate in the appropriate directory on your machine.
On my linux box, it is /etc/smrsh. It may be somewhere else on yours

I found out where it was on my system by typing man smrsh and reading
the manual…

for me it was /usr/sbin/mail/sm.aliases/ or something…
