Question about the RT email account

I have setup my /etc/aliases like so for RT:

rt3test1: “|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue Desktop --action correspond
–url http://localhost/rt

so do I have to setup a user account on the NIX box with rt3test1 ?

as when users send emails to rt3test1@protusrt.com, they get an error
back saying:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.Subject: test

  Sent:                 3/27/2008 5:02 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

  rt3test1@protusrt.com on 3/27/2008 5:02 PM

        The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did

not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it
still fails, contact your system administrator.

        < mailgate-outbound.protus.com #5.0.0 X-Spam-Firewall; Name

service error for name=protusrt.com type=A: Host not found>

And what about this URL? To get to the RT panel, the url is actulaty
http://localhost http://localhost/ … There is no /rt

Does that make a difference>?

did you run newaliases after you setup the aliases file?

The web address http://localhost assumes that rt is set as the
DocumentRoot.

http://localhost/rt assumes that rt resides at /rt off of DocumentRoot.

This is set in httpd.conf. It is all based on how you setup your http
server.

Yes I did run newaliases and also restarted the HTTPD and SENDMAIL.
Ok, forgot to change the URL, so I just did so… and typed
newaliases…

Sent another email to rt3test1@protusrt.com while tail’ing the
/var/log/maillog and got this:

Mar 28 07:29:17 nelsoncentos sendmail[18286]: m2SBTH6q018286:

[192.168.2.30], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (750729 message accepted for
delivery)

Yet, RT still does not show the message in the queue and no response
back to the sender…

So I don’t need to setup a useraccount of rt3test1 in the centos box?
Just the alias should send the ticket to RT ?

The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report
a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails,
contact your system administrator. <
mailgate-outbound.protus.com #5.0.0 X-Spam-Firewall; Name service error
for name=protusrt.com type=A: Host not found>

That looks to be a problem unrelated to RT. Host not found suggests a
problem on your Exchange box.
