Don't ugprade from version to version.
Copy the database to a new system.  Install RT 4.0.20 and follow all
the upgrading steps.  Then install RTIR 3.0.2 and follow those
upgrading steps.  You will need to have some downtime obviously, but
you cannot know how much downtime without running through the
migration.

Installing each intermediate RT/RTIR version is unnecessary and no
documentation implies you need to do that.  If you find documentation
that suggests it, please file a bug so I can remove it.

No.  Sending mail to the correspondent on reply or on investigation
creation are standard features of RTIR.  That they are not working
implies a misconfiguration or error in your install.

I see two problems here.
RT thinks that problem_sender at acme.com isn't a valid email recipient.
Please show the Correspondents page for ticket 53 and the user page
for that user to confirm they are set up properly.

Additionally, you should not make the RTIR email address the AdminCc
of the IR queue.  This is causing RT to send mail to itself which has
to be detected as a bounce loop and dropped.
