I finally got RT working on a FreeBSD box and I am able to create new
tickets on queues when I send a regular plain text message. However, when I
send a HTML or Rich-Text email, I get a system error message. It appears the
MIME::Parser is unable to open a temporary file (tmpfile). I would like to
know where the MIME::Parser opens the new file so I can confirm the
file/directory permissions. In addition, I recently upgraded from perl
version 5.6.1 to perl 5.8.0. However, the RT system still seems to be using
the old perl version within it’s configuration as you can see in the code
stack below. How do I change the RT configuration to use the new perl
v.5.8.0. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Here is the
system error message I receive:
System error
