Of particular interest is the /dev/fd/3//usr/local/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate
What is that /dev/fd/3 all about? It doesn’t exist on my system.

I’ve no idea if it’s relevant here, but there are a couple of places in
the ‘Bash’ manual page where /dev/fd/n is used to refer to file
descriptor n.

As Smylers’ states, its a bash/linux file descriptor identifier.
However, you haven’t stated where you are getting the ‘/usr/bin/perl -w
/dev/fd3//…rt-mailgate’ line from.

This helps a fair bit in debugging, especially as the subject line does
not match the question.

( and I’m guessing that you’re quoting from postfix logs, and as such,
would suggest that you refer to the postfix documentation, or Smylers’
comment )
