[rt-users] Setting up Postfix/mailgate on Gentoo

[Roland, Ryan M]

I am using RT 3.2.0 on Gentoo Linux.  I have been trying to setup
Postfix (MTA) to accept email which creates tickets in RT.

In /etc/mail/aliases, when I have 

it_test:  it_test

where it_test is a local system user (not an RT user though), it accepts
mail sent to it_test at ...

However, when I then put the mailgate info in:

it_test: "|/[...]/bin/rt-mailgate --queue ITTest -action correspond
--url http://[hostname omitted]/"

Where ITTest is an existing queue, I get an Undeliverable with this
error:

< [hostname omitted] #5.0.0 X-Postfix; Command died with status 1: "
/[...]/bin/rt-mailgate --queue ITTest --action correspond --url
http://[hostname omitted]/">

According to the rt-mailgate perldoc, 

"However, you will need first of all to create an RT user for the mail
gateway and assign it a password; this helps to ensure that mail coming
into the web server did originate from the gateway."

Since it doesn't say whether I need to use a particular username or set
any special permissions, (or where I would tell the mailgate which
username to use) I have created a user 'rt-mailgate' and a user
'it_test' (same name as the user receiving the mail).  Neither of these
worked.  So what am I missing?  Is there a particular format required of
those emails that I haven't found in the documentation?  Is there
special permissions that one of the users need to some area of the RT
arch or special configuration on the ITTest queue itself?


Thanks,
