Mail Aliases

Hey folks, I’m a little confused on just what mail aliases are used
for. Do I need to create a seperate one for each queue?For instance, I
have a queue, called NOC, I add the following to /etc/aliases

NOC: |"/opt/rt/bin/rt-mailgate NOC correspond"

Does this just get used to send stuff to the email address I specified
when creating the queue?

Yeah. if you don’t need the mail gateway for a queue, you don’t need the alias.On Wed, Mar 01, 2000 at 08:35:23PM -0500, Chris Black wrote:

Hmm, ok, is this possible? RT is running on a seperate linux box, our mail
server is a M$ Exchange server that the I don’t have access too. When
tickets are created in the NOC queue, I want email sent to noc@befree.com
which is the Exchange server account. Is this possible? Do I need the rt
aliases at all if all the email accounts are not hosted on this machine?On Wed, 1 Mar 2000, Jesse wrote:

You’ll have to have the exchange server forward those messages to sendmail
on a unix box so they can get into rt.

They’ll take my private key when they pry it from my cold dead fingers!

But be aware that Exchange does terrible things to headers when
forwarding mail (in some circumstances). Watch out for that.
