Reply mail seems never to be send out

Hi,
I just installed RT 2.0.8 on a RedHat 7.2 system. I configured it to use
sendmail (with a symlink of /opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate to
/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate). I am able to create tickets via e-mail, and if a
user tries to create a ticket without having permissions to do so, he (and
me as the admin) gets an e-mail telling him so.
So e-mail in general seems to work, but when I try to do a reply to a
ticket, the reply is never actually send out. RT appends everything nicely
to the ticket history, when I look into the maillog of the system nothing
has bee send (i.e. no entry in maillog, /var/spool/mqueue untouched) and
also no new entry under /var/log/rt .
I tried the different given configurations in config.pm (with or without
sendmailpipe, with a simple ‘-oi’ option or the long version), but no
changes.
The fact that no errors are reported, makes it hard to track it down.
I have given my “outgoing mail config” below.

Any ideas ?

{{{ Outgoing mail configuration

#$MailAlias is a generic alias to send mail to for any request
#already in a queue.

#RT is designed such that any mail which already has a ticket-id
associated

#Sendmail Configuration

$MailCommand defines which method RT will use to try to send mail

We know that ‘sendmail’ works fairly well.

If ‘sendmail’ doesn’t work well for you, try ‘sendmailpipe’

But note that you have to configure $SendmailPath and add a -t

to $SendmailArguments

$MailCommand = ‘sendmail’;

$SendmailArguments defines what flags to pass to $Sendmail

assuming you picked ‘sendmail’ or ‘sendmailpipe’ as the $MailCommand

above.

If you picked ‘sendmailpipe’, you MUST add a -t flag to

$SendmailArguments

These options are good for most sendmail wrappers and workalikes

#$SendmailArguments=“-oi”;

These arguments are good for sendmail brand sendmail 8 and newer

$SendmailArguments=“-oi -ODeliveryMode=b -OErrorMode=m”;

If you selected ‘sendmailpipe’ above, you MUST specify the path

to your sendmail binary in $SendmailPath.

!! If you did not # select ‘sendmailpipe’ above, this has no effect!!

$SendmailPath = “/usr/sbin/sendmail”;

RT can optionally set a “Friendly” ‘To:’ header when sending messages to

Ccs or AdminCcs (rather than having a blank ‘To:’ header.

This feature DOES NOT WORK WITH SENDMAIL[tm] BRAND SENDMAIL

If you are using sendmail, rather than postfix, qmail, exim or some

other MTA,

you must disable this option.

Yes, I have and e.g. autoreply works and sends out an e-mail to the
requestor.
However a reply “by hand” doesn’t work and this should work independently
of a scrips configuration, shouldn’t it ?

No, its much simpler. I’m having problems with the fact that RT doesn’t
send out the reply to the requestors/ccs/adminccs … :frowning:
(Which is curious since autoreplies and error messages are sent out.)
