My last reply didn’t go to the list, sorry about that. But Aaron hit the nail right on the head. It’s been a while since I’ve been administrator of a postfix box, but it’s coming back to me in floods. ☺

So what I think you need now is a smarthost to relay the mail back, we use this method in our setup. This is simple by adding a line to the postfix main.cf. relayhost = {exchangeserver}.{domain.com}:25 Replacing {exchangeserver} and {domain.com} with their correct values. Restart Postfix and give it another try :) --- Regards, Aaron Guise [http://www.guise.net.nz/images/signatures/email.gif][email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [http://www.guise.net.nz/images/signatures/VMW-LGO-CERTIFIED-PRO-5-K.png] [http://www.guise.net.nz/images/signatures/itil_logo.gif] [http://www.guise.net.nz/images/signatures/officiallogo-nd-25.jpg] [http://www.guise.net.nz/images/signatures/ubuntu.png] On 2013-02-20 11:15, John Buell wrote: Changed /etc/mailname and /etc/hostname and then…. Yes, postfix seems to be part of the problem – it was rejecting the messages relayed to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> but has quit doing that after I changed main.cf. So this is progress! I’ve got tickets, I can send email to create new tickets, but I’m not getting replies to go anywhere when ownership of a ticket is changed or a ticket is marked resolved. Is there a procedure of going through the Scrips that I missed somehow? Thanks for all the help Aaron!

Hi John, What mail system have you got on the RT box? Myself I use postfix as my preferred solution. Also when sending an email to any of the contacts you created do you get a bounce at all? That information would be useful in solving this. --- Regards, Aaron Guise [Image removed by sender.][email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] On 2013-02-20 07:43, John Buell wrote: Thanks Aaron, this was a huge step forward for me! I’ve got regular aliases for correspond and comment aliases for comments on my RT box, a connector on Exchange, contacts on Exchange, but I’m still not getting email.

I'm using an old HP server box with Ubuntu 12.04 installed. Rather than running the rt in the Ubuntu software repository though, I went ahead and downloaded 4.0.10 myself and installed it and all of the perl modules. I'm only intending the web server portion to be available within our local network (so I haven't enabled SSL), though I did go ahead and make a dns entry for rt.countrysampler.com so that it resolves to the correct internal IP address. Web configuration went ok, MySQL configuration went ok (I've used MySQL before as the backend for another vendor's ticket system), I just can't for the life of me figure out how to get RT to talk to our Exchange 2010 server. I've got the root user enabled (for the moment), myself set up within RT as a privileged user, and all of my employees (38) entered. I have 14 departments set up, so that I can track who has the most problems. I've added eight ticket queues (hardware, software, phones, etc) and have been setting up the appropriate permissions so that people can sign in and create tickets. As the lone privileged user, I'm the only one that can close/modify the tickets once entered. So far so good. We have an Exchange 2010 server running on a virtual machine (Hyper-V) that would be able to listen for and respond to email. I've gone through some documentation I've found online, but most everything seems to be for older versions of Exchange. I've created a dedicated user account to be the sender/reply-to for all messages generated through RT ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), but where on Earth do I set it up so that RT and Exchange are talking? I realize these sorts of things must have been asked a million times before, and for that I apologize, but if I could find a couple quick config files or something, I wouldn't harass you folks. :) Thanks in advance, John Buell Systems Administrator Country Sampler LLC 707 Kautz Road St. Charles, IL 60174 (630) 762-7806
