To get around creating a new MX record, I set up a user in the aliases 
file on our actual mail server that points an address on the RT server.  
Just make sure you change the correspond address on your queue to match 
the "outside" address.

aliases file from main mail server:
#aliases brought forward from old server       
netsupport:  netsupport at invisible.rt.server
