Need to give more info Kevin,
 
where are the replies going to?
what is setup in RT for the reply email address?
how are the end users even getting the proper ticket number? are they putting it in the subject line correctly? (e.g. [your.rt.name #ticketnumber] )
 
If it is setup to fetch the emails, it's simple configuration to get the replies to work.  I'd suggest the RT Essentials book from O'Reilly, it walks through how to do this.

Hi,

We have a system which was set up by another admin to create new tickets when an email is received at support at example.com.

A ticket is then created in a default queue.  

However, replies to emails with the ticket number do not get added to the ticket.

The system has been set up to use fetchmail polling the server.

Since we use Postfix and the system is a default Debian set up what would be the best way to implement tickets being automatically generated and replies being added to the ticket.

It looks to me from the docs that aliasing should be able to do the trick - but I'm wondering why the admin decided to use fetchmail.  Also, I believe procmail is a possible way to do this.

Any pointers gratefully received,
