So, RT has the ability to send mail via SMTP directly, _however_ we
strongly recommend against the use of this feature because of something
RT _doesn't_ have. -- an outgoing mail queue. Whcih means that if
something goes wrong, the message may be dropped. Setting up sendmail,
postfix or qmail to "smart host" to your ISP's mailserver doesn't
require running a daemon listening for connections from the outside
world, just a local queue running daemon, which should cut down on
potential security issues.
Ahhh ok. While I've gotten postfix up and running myself a few times,
i'm still fairly new to it, which is why I was asking if there was
this other way to do this. Thanks for your reply!
Redhat-style distros (RHEL, fedora, CentOS, etc.) come with a default
sendmail setup that only accepts connections from the local host. If
you are using one of those you should only have to set SMART_HOST in
sendmail.mc and restart sendmail - although in most situations you would
probably want the ability get inbound replies back to RT unless another
box is doing that.
