[rt-users] Interaction between RT Systems

[Bob Goldstein]

I've got a similar problem, but between a Clarify installation
and RT.  My intended solution will just be email with special
queues.  If a ticket is moved to a special Clarify queue,
Clarify will fire off an email to RT, "properly" formated.
RT will see this, parse and create an RT Ticket.  And vica versa.

Still a few details to be worked out :-)  But the intention
is to be barely good enough for rough transfer, and not
to make one system as a real-time front end for the other.
