[rt-users] Could someone help a newb evaluating RT with email setup?

[Aaron Guise]

Hi John, 

What mail system have you got on the RT box? Myself I use
postfix as my preferred solution. 

Also when sending an email to any of
the contacts you created do you get a bounce at all? That information
would be useful in solving this.

REGARDS,

Aaron, this was a huge step forward for me! I've got regular aliases for
correspond and comment aliases for comments on my RT box, a connector on
Exchange, contacts on Exchange, but I'm still not getting email. I'm not
sure what to look at, but if anyone has time to look at a few
screenshots, I posted a new gallery on a personal site of mine:

firewall), please let me know that too. So far I'm really liking this
product and our managers seem pleased with it too.

software repository though, I went ahead and downloaded 4.0.10 myself
and installed it and all of the perl modules. I'm only intending the web
server portion to be available within our local network (so I haven't
enabled SSL), though I did go ahead and make a dns entry for
rt.countrysampler.com so that it resolves to the correct internal IP
address.

(I've used MySQL before as the backend for another vendor's ticket
system), I just can't for the life of me figure out how to get RT to
talk to our Exchange 2010 server. I've got the root user enabled (for
the moment), myself set up within RT as a privileged user, and all of my
employees (38) entered. I have 14 departments set up, so that I can
track who has the most problems. I've added eight ticket queues
(hardware, software, phones, etc) and have been setting up the
appropriate permissions so that people can sign in and create tickets.
As the lone privileged user, I'm the only one that can close/modify the
tickets once entered. So far so good.

I've found online, but most everything seems to be for older versions of
Exchange. I've created a dedicated user account to be the
sender/reply-to for all messages generated through RT
(stcadmin at countrysampler.com), but where on Earth do I set it up so that
RT and Exchange are talking?
