[rt-users] rt-mailgate problems

[Tom Kyle]

As is standard practice, I puzzled it out within five minutes of posting.

Piping a mail message directly through the rt-mailgate script showed 
that it couldn't create a ticket in the "general" queue.  In my infinite 
wisdom, I'd renamed the queue " General" so that it always appeared 
first in drop-downs and then promptly forgotten.

I'd tried piping a message through (echo 
"hello"|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --etc etc) earlier while 
troubleshooting, but it had just gone off into never-never land. 
Must've fixed something without realizing it.
