[rt-users] Enhanced email gateway

[Rainer Dorsch]

Wouter,

thanks for your quick reply. I am wondering, if anybody knows if sendmail can 
do something similar (I am pretty sure, but how can I tell sendmail to 
evaluate /etc/rtaliases). I am running rt and sendmail on a Debian 2.2. system.

Thanks.

Rainer.
