I have an “contact” set up in my MS Exchange organization to send mail
destined to “*@helpdesk.domain.com” to my RT server; the rt server reads the
“to” address and processes it into the correct queue. And the queue has the
reply address “helpdesk@helpdesk.domain.com”.
If I send a message to helpdesk@helpdesk.domain.com MS exchange forwards it
to helpdesk.domain.com; on the RT server I have this in my aliases file:
helpdesk: “|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue HelpDesk --action
correspond --url http://helpdesk.domain.com/helpdesk”
I have a similar entry in my aliases file for each of my queues.

We do the same thing, but rt.domain.com (our equivilent to your
helpdesk.domain.com) has an MX record pointing directly at the RT server,
which runs sendmail. This allows the general Internet to send email to
queuename@rt.ddomain.com without having to hop through our Exchange server.
We then have backup MX records for rt.domain.com, and those hosts are
configured to queue up mail in the event the RT server is down (upgrading,
maintenance, etc).
On RT we run things through SpamAssassin first, because we were getting a lot
of spam in our public queues.

Hi Jonathan,
The technique referred to by Atom is known as a mail enabled contact
within exchange.
More details at Microsoft Support.
This may be of interest to you once your incoming mail is sorted.
We’re using this technique to make RT queues appear in the exchange
global address list.
Regards, Ian.

Do I have to change my mail config? This is the first time I have setup
mail on a linux box so I’m very new at it. Currently exim4 is running
and is bouncing email off my Exchange server’s smtp server. Do I need
to install a different mail program? Is there a site that can help me
configure this properly?On Wed, 2005-05-11 at 10:45 +0100, Norton, Ian wrote:

Hi Jesse,
I’ll be happy to help with the exim setup - it’s fairly simple.
We’re using exim both on our main mail hubs and on our RT system.
We have exchange sitting on our internal network behind the exim
systems.
Our rt addresses are relayed through the front systems and are then
delivered to the
box running RT. We’re using a separate alias file to drive the RT
addresses so that
it can be auto generated without affecting anything else.
Our RT exim configure file contains the following router definition:
rt_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{TABLES/aliases.rt}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part
It’s just a copy of the system_aliases router with a different filename.
We’re generating the alias file using the following script:
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/~norton/dev/rt/rt-aliases
The exchange bits will only be useful to you once you have everything up
and running.
Hope that helps you.
