Assuming that RT is set up like ours is, with a user account for queue
address, and qmail as the MTA, this is as simple as:

[queue at rt queue]$ cat .qmail
&queue-members-list at example.com
| /usr/local/rt/bin/rt-mailgate support correspond

(We currently use this setup to forward to a monitor's pager when a new
transaction is created).

This will sometimes create extra emails when people simply email replies
in, but this is a feature in our circumstances, where the requestor will
usually be the only one emailing replies.

A similar setup with a .forward should be dead easy, I'd bet, but don't
ask me for advice on that, I've avoided sendmail like the plague for
quite some time now...

HTH,
