Hello Steve,
“mydomain” was just an example to avoid putting my real domain name. In
my case you cas replace it with “linkvest.com”.
My config.pm is correctly setup, all the e-mail sent go with the “From:”
field set to “rtXXX@linkvest.com”.
The problem is not the “From:” field that is correctly set by RT, but
the “MAIL FROM: <…>” in the SMTP connection. sendmail sets the “MAIL
FROM:” to the username@myhost.mydomain (in my case
(nobody@rt.linkvest.com), since RT apache runs as “nobody” and the host
where it runs is “rt.linkvest.com”). There is no way to change this
unless sendmail is used with the -f parameter. Iy you are root, no
problem. But if you aren’t, some sendmail version correctly sets the
“MAIL FROM:” in the SMTP connection, but adds a header
X-Authentication-Warning to tell “hey man, maybe youe are not who you
tell you are”.
Let’s take a simple example:
I am the user “rco” loged on “lynx.mydomain.com”:
[lynx | rco] ~ > /usr/sbin/sendmail test@sun.com
From: dummy@mydomain.com
Hello !
The mail is sent to test@sun.com ant it IS from “dummy@mydomain.com”.
But if you sniff the connection, you will see:
MAIL FROM: rco@lynx.mydomain.com
<… cutted …>
From: dummy@mydomain.com
<… cutted …>
That’s all…
Cheers
Rafael

Wll i think there are some things in your config that are not correctly
setuop.
We have 8 queues for 8 different products and every replies are sent
with the correct email corresponding to the queue not
nobody@mydomain.com. I don’t remember when i was configuring the system
but “mydomain” sounds like a variable that you did not configured.
There is something like this in config.pm:
#This is the default address that will be listed in
#From: and Reply-To: headers of mail tracked by RT unless overridden #by
a queue specific address
$CorrespondAddress=“RT::rt@rt2.inet-technologies.com”;
$CommentAddress=“RT::rtcomment@rt2.inet-technologies.com”;
So if you dont have configured queues, maybe its there you have a
nobody@mydomain… Read the docs carrefully and go through each lines of
config.pm to be sure everything is configured properly.

You’re absolutely right. On the other hand, using sendmail causes the
“MAIL FROM” command sent at the beginning of the SMTP connection
beeing sent as:
MAIL FROM: nobody@myhost.mydomain.com
if sendmail is not configured otherwise. This should be OK since this
is just the “reverse-path” and should be used only to report
non-deliveries. The major problem is that some domain (I know some…)
rejects such messages since myhost.mydomain.com does not resolve on
the DNS (myhost is into the company network, and not on the DMZ
neither the internet).
To correct that problem, I have 2 possibilities:
- Create an alias on the DNS so “myhost.mydomain.com” have a dummy IP
address
2) Change the sendmail configuration so the FROM: is another adress
(like postmaster@mydomain.com).
But as you well suggested, it’s better to do one of these things
instead of using the smtp method…

Long long long ago I tested it. and it worked. but a lot has changed
since then and I don’t know of anyone using it in production. One
thing that worries me about using the ‘smtp’ transport is that it
doesn’t really have any sort of graceful way of queueing messages if
the server’s off line. So there’s a greater chance of losing mail.

Hello people,
Has someone tested the $RT::MailCommand = ‘smtp’?
In fact, if the MailCommand is not sendmail, the $RT::MailParams is
passed as the 2nd argument to Mail::Mailer::new(), but the this
method
requires an array, not a scalar. I didn’t went in depth in
Mail::Mailer, so maybe somewhere there is a check and the scalar is
derefernced to get an array. Has someone tried to used the “smtp”
method for MailCommand? Thanks Rafael
