Indeed.

I left $DatabaseHost as the default "localhost".


Incidentally I've been experimenting successfully with this for the last
couple of hours.  So far it pretty much makes the installation hassle
worthwhile.

However one problem I have encountered is that requests emailed in from
users that don't have RT accounts are being thrown out:

No permission to create tickets in the queue 'general'.  

I assume the Nobody user has CreateTicket privs but it isn't listed in the
user list so I can't check.

Anyone got any ideas on this one?

Thanks,

Neil.
