thanks Sean,

everything is working fine now.  I replaced http with https - like this:


"|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action corres
pond --url http://rt.enabled.com/"

with

"|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action corres
pond --url https://rt.enabled.com/"


and things work fine now.  am I opening up any security issues here?
