[rt-users] configuring sendmail with ssh/rt

[Dale Bewley]

Can you show us the alias you are using? It sounds like you are piping
email to an ssh command? I really doubt you need/want to do that if you
are.

As far as executables and sendmail, you can pub symlinks in /etc/smrsh to
make sendmail happy.
