These are for rewriting the From: address of people writing into RT.
If that is what you want, fine.

If you actually just want RT to understand both addresses, then that
is a mail server configuration question, and you can just have RT send
out as the new address.

RT actually tries really hard to strip out invalid recipients, so it
is possible that you have an error in the sendmail invocation RT uses.
But, without knowing where ' ' creeps in, there are too many moving
