I would copy and paste, but the terminal to the remote CentOS box is on another computer. That line was one line, I didn't know that it had been formatted incorrectly. The syntax error says that there is an error at /usr/bin/rt-mailgate which I assumed meant that the error was before that

Hello again. We finally got fetchmail to work! thanks to everyone who helped, it now is up and running. However, we hit a snag while trying to set it up so that people just sent emails to helpd...@myurl.com and it creates a ticket. I think we have to set up aliases in fetchmail so that that email

In your fetchmail config, you tell fetchmail to send the emails it grabs to a specific process. For RT to create a ticket from an email, you need to give the email to rt-mailgate. You do this through the fetchmail config file. This is an example of one grabbing email from a google apps account

I just added the argument to the .fetchmailrc file, and it returned a syntax error before /usr/sbin/rt-mailgate, which means that the perl we have in /user/bin/perl is wrong, right? there is both a perl and a perl5.8.8 file in there, what does the syntax error mean in this case? the line:

Yes, this all goes into the .fetchmailrc file for the user executing fetchmail, and yes, you'd have to adjust the settings to point to your various pieces like perl, mailgate, RT url(note mine doesn't end with /rt3), and obviously the email server you are needing to pull emails from. HTH. Mike.

All I can say is that there is something syntatically wrong with your fetchmailrc file... You have to figure out what you got wrong there. man fetchmail and read up on the file to ensure everything is sound in there. HTH Mike. On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 5:11 PM, George Simpson
