[rt-users] scarier qmail hack

[Sam Johnston]

According to the RT/FM, there is a 'scary qmail hack' courtesy Matthias 
Juchem of Wednesday 27 November 2002. I have optimised it somewhat to a 
single line in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-support-default or equivalent

|/usr/bin/preline /opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue ${EXT2%%\-*} --action 
${EXT3:-correspond}

It's things like this that keep me using qmail. Anyway this appears to 
work nicely for me, but your mileage might vary. I guarantee nothing 
except that it will take up space. In particular you could run into 
trouble with the shell expansions (my system uses bash but I have a 
feeling these are fairly portable) and lack of error checking.
