There's nothing RT does after spitting out these errors except print
"not ok" and an error message for bin/rt-mailgate to pickup (the
mailgate then exits).

I'll note that "Couldn't find sender's address" means that RT couldn't
find a From: address, but your message contains one and stock RT finds
it.  Either the log messages above aren't for the test message you
attached, or your test message is getting mangled by something else
before it ever gets to RT.

Do you have anything interesting in your mail flow before RT?  To
further debug, you could change your mailgate alias to

    | tee /tmp/output | rt-mailgate ...

to capture the message as it is piped into mailgate.

The attached message doesn't make RT blow up on a vanilla system, so
it's specific to your install.
