[rt-users] sendmail with e-mail

[Jesse Vincent]

I'm kind of busy today, so this is going to be rather terse.

Your options include:

Installing RT on your mail server (pointing to the same DB as 
on your rt server..just make sure you have the same config file ;)
This does not require running the web ui on your mail server

Running fetchmail on your RT server, which can slurp mail off of a remote
pop/imap server.  Note that this probably still requires a local sendmail,
but it doesn't have to talk to the outside world at all.  Having a sendmail
bound to the loopback interface kicking around isn't that big a deal. really.

Longer term, if folks are interested, I'd be happy to explore a mail-gateway
that could run on your mail server and talk to a remote mail server.
