Questions about rt

Hi,

I run Qmail with vpopmail and I want to setup RT to manage an address
support@everydns.net

I read through the readme and how it says to add a user “rt” and whatnot. Does
this all apply to qmail as well?

Has someone who runs qmail created a FAQ or readme to walk rt-newbies like me
through the paces?

Thanks – any information or help would be great.

It depends upon a few things… RT1 works very, very well with Qmail.
All you have to do is have an alias file ~alias/.qmail-support with the
rt-mailgate command piped correctly. RT2 is considerably more
interesting to make happy. If you’d like, I invite you to correspond
with me off-list and I’ll do what I can to step you through any
difficult bits. I’ve been using Qmail for almost a year now, and RT for
a bit longer than that (in various incarnations).

I’m preparing to do a write-up for RT2+Qmail (among other bits). Jesse
and I just spent most of this week churning through all the problems I
was having making the new RT happy, and Qmail was one of the sticky
bits. Our correspondence was off-list for the most part, though, so the
relevant stuff isn’t in the mail archives.

That raises the always-useful point that your first bet for answering
esoteric RT questions is the mailing list archives, linked from the main
RT homepage.

How do you setup cronjobs to escalate the priorities on items that have
not moved in request tracker ?

Or can’t this be done.

there is rt-escalate in the contrib section.

It doesn’t do quite what you’re looking for … it moves all tickets up in
priority, either incrementing by 1 or incrementing by a bit of math
involving due date and max priority – until max priority is reached.
