Thanks...I had got that far, but it wasn't clear if the aliases you 
create in /etc/aliases had to match usernames set up in RT.

rt-mailgate doesn't deliver to RT Users, it delivers to RT Queues, so
there's absolutely no connection between user accounts in RT and
aliases used to execute rt-mailgate or mailbox names used in say
fetchmail that then execute rt-mailgate or the myriad of other ways
rt-mailgate is executed.

Adding to what Kevin said, you can configure incoming email addresses 
for the entire RT in RT_SiteConfig.pm:


http://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/latest/RT_Config.html#CorrespondAddress-CommentAddress

You can configure email addresses assigned to individual queues on the 
queue configuration page:


Admin  Queues, then click on a queue.

But as Kevin said, rt-mailgate handles delivery. These settings are to 
make sure the From on outgoing mail is set so requestors can reply back.

[rt-users] Incoming email address

2014-05-19 Thread Flynn, Peter
I am setting up a test instance of rt as part of our investigation of a 
replacement for our current helpdesk system.

So far it's up and running nicely on a virtual host under Apache, and 
I've been adding some test users and queues.

I can't find any documentation on how best to set up the email 
responder. There are descriptions of the variables in the docs, but 
there doesn't seem to be any description of what the receiver email 
address is or how/where to configure it. The server has sendmail 
configured, but what address would a customer send a query to?

Take a look at rt-mailgate:

You need to set up some pipe aliases using rt-mailgate:
