[rt-users] mail server on different machine

[Karl Pietri]

Probably your best solution is what we did.  Just make a subdoimain for rt
email and have your main email server forward on that subdomain email to the
rt box.  Our main email server is not on linux so i couldnt help you with
how to have qmail forward mail for a sub domain. but as for rt you just set
it up like a standard install.  Hope that helps.
