Make sure you have the aliases file setup correctly.
For instance, if your queue is called "Stop bothering the Sys-admin" you
would add the following lines to the aliases file:
rt-sysadmin: "|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue \"Stop bothering the
Sys-admin\" --action comment --url http://your.rt.server/"
rt-sysadmin-comment: "|opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue \"Stop bothering
the Sys-admin\" --action on correspond --url http://your.rt.server/
Does this help?

I made changes in the following files:
hosts.allow (says "sendmail:ALL")
access (added Connect:apache at localhost since I saw that in maillog, then
"make access.db")
aliases (verified aliases pointed to rt queues in
/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate, then "newaliases")
sendmail.mc (made sure ip address was listed instead of loopback
127.0.0.1, then "m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf)
and now I no longer get the error from apache.
It sends e-mails now but will not receive and sort incoming e-mails into
proper queues.
Also, it only sends confirmation e-mails to the requestor and does not
send e-mails to watchers of the queues.

You don't need the reverse. But I think you haven't finished configuring
your mail server yet. Are you using sendmail or postfix? I am going home
now so I can get back to you tomorrow. Have a good night.

I can resolve by typing "nslookup rt.box.edu" and it spits back the IP
assigned to the box. Does reverse lookup need to be enabled, because I
cannot "nslookup *.*.*.*" in order to get rt.box.edu in return.
Maillog says that "Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]. Is the box
refusing to send mail from itself?

>From your RT box, can you resolve the MX records for your domain using
nslookup? On the RT box, look at /var/log/maillog and see why the mail
is not getting to your watchers.

I have our 2 DNS servers listed in resolv.conf. And Yes the DNS has an A
record.

It looks like you are having DNS issues. That is why apache is
complaining as well. Have you listed your DNS servers in
/etc/resolv.conf? Have you added an A record for your RT server in DNS?

Hey Everyone,
We have RT 3.6.1 installed on Fedora Core 5. We are having some troubles
sending and receiving mail. E-mails can only be sent to the IP address
of the RT server and not the domain name. Also, once a ticket is
received RT does not send a mail to Watchers of the GROUP that has
rights to Watch the QUEUE the ticket enters into. Is there a way to do
this?
Also, when httpd (apache) starts up it says "Could not reliably
determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using *.*.*.* for
ServerName.
Other than these things RT appears to be working normally.
I've tried Googling errors and going to sendmail and apache support
pages. Please help, thank you in advance.
