Hi There
I’m relatively new to RT but so far it’s proven to be a very useful tool! I
am having a slight problem after setting it up on a new server/upgrading to
RT 3.6, specifically where my Exim setup tries to deliver messages to RT
queues.
My current setup details:
Debian etch
Apache 2
Mysql 5.0.32
Exim 4
RT 3.6
The frontend is 100 % operational, and outbound RT responses are sent
succesfully. But I’m struggling to find an answer for what happens below.
The following is an extract of my exim log file:
2007-10-23 22:24:46 1IjryT-0003tY-4j == |/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate
–queue “Administration” --action correspond --url http://localhost/ <
admin@domain.com> R=rt_correspond T=address_pipe defer (0): Child process of
address_pipe transport returned 75 (could mean temporary error) from
command: /usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate
This led me to try and run the command being used manually, but the output
as you can see below isn’t really a direct error and confusing me 
rt-server:/home/paul# cat ./mail.msg | /usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate
–queue “Administration” --action correspond --url http://localhost/
RT server error.
The RT server which handled your email did not behave as expected. It

As you can see there’s no real “error” to look for. I’ve been googling
forever trying to find a answer, but every case i’ve looked at least has
some kind of proper error to more or less identify the issue.
“/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate” has execute permissions, and the shebang’s
are also correct (#!/usr/bin/perl -w).
I hope someone can point me in the right direction 
Thanks
Paul
