Good morning folks,

I recently started using RT at my office to keep track of my sysadmin
tasks, and found it a wonderful tool.  I'm a stickler for what I know,
and still use sendmail everwhere :)

I've documented up my method in sendmail of removing the requirement of
keeping /etc/aliases up to date, by using the virtusertable map, and
procmail.  It's available on the wiki at
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?SendmailWithoutQueueAliases

It allows you to create queues, and not touch /etc/aliases.  It also
allows you to mail queuename+action-action at rt.yourdomain.com, aslong as
you enable UnsafeEmailCommands.

Comments, thoughts, flames, etc are appreciated :)
