[rt-users] mail server on different machine

[Parish, Brent]

Hi.  

I thought that the actual posting of the email into RT was done via a no-auth URL to the web server.
If that is true, you can put RT on the email server, but without any database connectivity or configuration.  Basically, you would just be using the RT package for only the mailgate function. 
Email directed at the box would (via the /etc/aliases file) call the mailgate program, which would then post to wherever your real RT server is.  
I thought that is what the docs that the original post (below) meant.  Can someone please let me know if this is correct?

Thanks!
Brent

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
