[rt-users] MSMTP works for sending, but receiving is now - And why a full MTA?

Unfortunately the Postfix folks, while well intentioned, probably don't
understand the behaviour and requirements of RT.  Rest assured that a
full blown MTA isn't overkill here, and is indeed the recommended
practice.  You can tell your paranoid-prone boss that using Postfix is
way more reliable than msmtp.  He wants RT to be reliable, right?  :)

You probably can.  You didn't mention what error you ran into, but it's
likely no more than configuration error.  There are many folks
knowledgeable about Postfix on this list, although Postfix config is
semi-off topic.  Give #postfix (or whatever the postfix help channel is)
another shot, and come back to us if they insist on badgering about
non-postfix options rather than helping. ;)
