You don't need to have an SMTP daemon on the same host as RT.

Exactly for the purpose of having the mailgate and the web UI on separate 
machines.

To use just the mailgate, grab and unpack the tarball. Run configure with 
the appropriate options. Run 'perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies -v' and make 
sure you satisfy the mailgate dependencies. You can probably get away with 
running 'make bin-install && make lib-install' but I don't have a machine 
to test that on at the moment.
