[rt-users] ticket lost if httpd not running

[Francesca Del Corso]

Hi,
 
We have this scenario:
 
when a user sends a request via e-mail to RT, the mail server (which is
not the RT machine) receives and forwardes it to the RT machine; on the
RT machine there is Postfix which redirects the request to RT software;
if the apache web server on the RT machine does not work (httpd is
stopped for some reasone),  the request is not managed by  RT and no
error is sent to the sender because the mail server was able to forward
the e-mail to the RT machine which is reachable and functional. 
There is any problem if the RT machine is not reachable: the web server
retries to send the e-mail request for a period after which an e-mail
error is sent back to the sender.
 
How can I do for not to lose ticket request or correspondence between
users and RT? 
 
Our configurations are: 
RH 9.0
Postfix1.1.12-1
mysql  Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.56 
apache 2.0.40
 
Thanks in advance.
