[rt-users] Using Fetchmail to pipe mail into RT.

[Joshua Riden]

To manually pipe an email to RT. I would
# cat emailfile.eml | rt-mailgate

Usually the mail ends up going to /var/spool/mail/user
None of them as the .eml extension.

When I tried to pipe a test text file I would receive the following error..
cat: -bash: rt-mailgate: command not found
