I stand corrected, it does not have to be a manual download of mail. This is just what worked for me, using exchange. In our environment I have very little control over the exchange setup, so I went the route of fetching the mail myself.

According to RT documentation, we should have MTA e.g. sendmail and it can be configured for incoming or outgoing emails. Then why do we need fetchmail? Is this necessary?

Here's what I used to achieve incoming mails via Exchange. I used fetchmail with the IMAP protocol - also the ssl flag was necessary for our server. Fetchmail command: fetchmail -f /var/www/html/rt/bin/fetchmailrc --ssl -B 10 --nokeep While testing fetchmail I used the -c flag so it would just check the mailbox. Upon success it will give you a count of the number of emails in the box. Also use the -v for verbose output while testing. Until this command reflects a successful connection to your email server, it's not going to work. Example fetchmailrc -- replace all <vars> with your own values: poll <Your_Exchange_Server> protocol imap: username <USERNAME_HERE> password <PASSWORD_HERE> mda "/var/www/html/rt/bin/rt-mailgate --url http://<Your RT URL> --queue '<queue name here>' --action correspond" Once you get the settings correct, toss the fetchmail script into crontab and have it check regularly.

My setup is: ubuntu RT server 12.4 sendmail is the MTA Emails sent from the exchange server (domain X) into RTserver Emails sent from RT to exchange (outgoing) are working Emails sent into RT from exchange server (inbound) are not working. /var/log/mail.log does not have any entry for this. I am not sure if the mail is reaching the RT server. Is there any configuration required for rt-mailgate? sendmails /etc/aliases has the correspondence address for general queue already setup. Could anyone shed some light please? Many thanks.
