[rt-users] Exim alias dilemma

[seph]

This looks like my hack that's mentioned in rt/fm.

you don't send to queuename+action at localdomain.com, you send to 
rt-queuename+action@<whatever>

the leading rt- is important, as this setup creates special handling
for mail that would otherwise go ti the user rt.

Does anybody know any reasons why? I'm using Exim and I copied and pasted the code from the guide in the correct locations of the exim.conf Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
