[rt-users] Can't get mail responses working

Sorry to bother everyone.  I spoke a little prematurely.  It turns out that
it had nothing to do with RT and was a mail server configuration issue.
Somehow the mail server was trying to route mail to an IP number that did
not have an active interface running for it.  So the mail was being
rejected.

I am still interested in any debug or logging features of RT.
