Your MTA (probably sendmail) currently does not 'trust' the 'nobody' user
(with good reason!).  If you add 'nobody' to the Trusted Users or
equivilant for your MTA, then your MTA will believe the 'nobody' user when
it defines an arbitary sending address, such as your RT queue system.

( Personally I like running the RT WebUI as a seperate user, and
  'trusting' that user, not the generic web 'nobody' user )

Search for 'trusted' in RT/FM (http://www.fsck.com/rtfm/) for more
specific hints for sendmail and exim.
