[rt-users] IS there anyway to debug rt-mailgate that fails withEX_TEMPFAIL

[Bernard McCormack]

When I encountered EX_tempfail It was because I had made a mistake on the url for the mail gateway. It was a pain to notice the typo. I may be wrong but don't you have to copy the rt mailgate to /usr/sbin/smrsh for it to work with send mail(could be completely wrong)/

for anyone else with this problem, I found a great way to debug

#(echo Subject: test; echo; echo test) | /home/rtx/bin/rt-mailgate
--queue QR-Help --action correspond --url http://rtx.mydomain.com
--debug
