[rt-users] mail server on different machine

[jeff rak]

I recently setup the exact thing that your trying to do.

Box with RT is running postfix. I directed postfix to forard all email to my 
main mail server. 

/etc/postfix/transport:
mydomain.org smtp:[192.168.1.1]

Now on your qmail machine, add an alias like this:

/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-fwd1-rt
&rt at myRTserver.mydomain.org

And to your /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
rt at mydomain.org:alias-fwd1

this will forward email from the qmail box to the RT machine, and when you 
reply from the RT machine, it'll forward to your qmail box.

Hope this helps,

-Rak
