Hey there,

tickets, users etc. I have installed a blank RT 3.6.1 on another server
an want to migrate the whole system.
any hints, howtos or ideas how to get this done without loosing nerves? 
greets and thanks in advance,
joey
Hey Everyone,
We have RT 3.6.1 installed on Fedora Core 5. We are having some troubles
sending and receiving mail. E-mails can only be sent to the IP address
of the RT server and not the domain name. Also, once a ticket is
received RT does not send a mail to Watchers of the GROUP that has
rights to Watch the QUEUE the ticket enters into. Is there a way to do
this?
Also, when httpd (apache) starts up it says "Could not reliably
determine the serverâs fully qualified domain name, using ... for
ServerName.
Other than these things RT appears to be working normally.
Iâve tried Googling errors and going to sendmail and apache support
pages. Please help, thank you in advance.

It looks like you are having DNS issues. That is why apache is
complaining as well. Have you listed your DNS servers in
/etc/resolv.conf? Have you added an A record for your RT server in DNS?

From your RT box, can you resolve the MX records for your domain using
nslookup? On the RT box, look at /var/log/maillog and see why the mail
is not getting to your watchers.

Make sure you have the aliases file setup correctly.
For instance, if your queue is called âStop bothering the Sys-adminâ you
would add the following lines to the aliases file:
rt-sysadmin: â|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue "Stop bothering the
Sys-admin" --action comment --url http://your.rt.server/â
rt-sysadmin-comment: "|opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue "Stop bothering

Change âgeneralâ to âGeneralâ after ââqueueâ and rebuild the aliases db.
Be sure that you are using the appropriate email address for each queue. Ex:
General queue - rt@your.rt.server
Sysadmin queue - rt-sysadmin@your.rt.server
Web site queue - rt-web@your.rt.server
âŚ
Etc.
Also, can you provide a list all entries for RT in your aliases file?From: Carvajal, Roberto A. [mailto:rcarvajal@miami.edu]

You donât need the reverse. But I think you havenât finished configuring
your mail server yet. Are you using sendmail or postfix? I am going home now
so I can get back to you tomorrow. Have a good night.

I can resolve by typing ânslookup rt.box.eduâ and it spits back the IP
assigned to the box. Does reverse lookup need to be enabled, because I
cannot ânslookup ...â in order to get rt.box.edu in return.
Maillog says that "Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]. Is the box refusing to

My understanding was you only need quotes for queues with spaces and
that the queue names were not case sensitive. It has previously received
mail and sorted it into queues witht eh following:
"general: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue general â action respond
âurl
http://rt.domain.com/
surveillance: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue surveillance â action
respond --url
http://rt.domain.com/
firewall: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue firewall â action respond
âurl
http://rt.domain.com/
ops: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue ops â action respond --url
http://rt.domain.com/
foreign: â|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue foreign â action respond
âurl
http://rt.domain.com/â
But now that it sends e-mails it no longer receives.

Change âgeneralâ to âGeneralâ after ââqueueâ and rebuild the aliases
db.
Be sure that you are using the appropriate email address for each queue.
Ex:
General queue - rt@your.rt.server
Sysadmin queue - rt-sysadmin@your.rt.server
Web site queue - rt-web@your.rt.server
âŚ
Etc.
Also, can you provide a list all entries for RT in your aliases file?

I am using sendmail and have copied rt-mailgate into /etc/smrsh/ and in
my
aliases have
"general: â|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue general â action respond
âurl
http://rt.domain.com/â
In my aliases and performed ânewaliasesâ after. Still no luck.

Make sure you have the aliases file setup correctly.
For instance, if your queue is called âStop bothering the Sys-adminâ you
would add the following lines to the aliases file:
rt-sysadmin: â|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue "Stop bothering the
Sys-admin" --action comment --url http://your.rt.server/â
rt-sysadmin-comment: "|opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue "Stop bothering
the
Sys-admin" --action on correspond --url http://your.rt.server/
Does this help?

I made changes in the following files:
hosts.allow (says âsendmail:ALLâ)
access (added Connect:apache@localhost since I saw that in maillog, then
âmake access.dbâ)
aliases (verified aliases pointed to rt queues in
/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate,
then ânewaliasesâ)
sendmail.mc (made sure ip address was listed instead of loopback
127.0.0.1,
then "m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf)
and now I no longer get the error from apache.
It sends e-mails now but will not receive and sort incoming e-mails into
proper queues.
Also, it only sends confirmation e-mails to the requestor and does not
send
e-mails to watchers of the queues.

you have spaces between â and action ⌠you donât want those.
it should read something like:
general: â|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue general --action respond --url
http://rt.domain.com/â
Also, although sendmail requires rt-mailgate to reside in /etc/smrsh for
security purposes, you donât necessarily need to call it from
/etc/smrsh. so the following would also work (assuming an install path
of /opt/rt3 )
general: "|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action respond
if memory serves, the queue names are case sensitive, so General is
different from general.
lastly, make sure that your URL actually matches the URL of your
machine, Iâve had problems in the past where although the URL was
resolvable to the machine, it was different than the installed URL (or
local hostname, i donât remember which) and thus caused problems.
hope this helps,
