OK, maybe qmail refuses setuid scripts, since they should not
be/are not necessary in the DJB scheme of things.

Sure, you don't, you're the alias user.

I'd recommend putting the .qmail files in the home directory of
the rt user, whatever its name is, creating one if necessary,
and getting qmail to deliver to that user. That way the file
executions will be done with the rt uid.

Simple example: with a user named rt having permissions to
create tickets (can test by hand if problems), mv the above
files to ~rt/.qmail and ~rt/.qmail-comment respectively. That's
it.

HTH.
