Hrm, interesting. I find Method 2 violates the KISS principle, as
dotqmaildashext aliases seem to work fine -- and I can't find anything
that would prevent them from doing so, other than the log-writing bit
my doc patch just suggested. Was that documentation bit written for
RT1, which *did* have a suid wrapper for rt-mailgate? 

Method 2 is necessary for virtualdomains, but I think that's beyond
the scope of RT's documentation at this point (particularly since one
would have to second-guess an individual's virtualdomain setup in the
first place!).

That said, I notice your examples don't use preline -- if you're not
using preline yourself, change that now :-) You're throwing away the
Return-Path of mail passed to rt-mailgate.
