Hi,
forgive what may turn out to be a silly question.
I have installed otrs on a Redhat 9.0 box. This PC is a 'root server'
which is hosted in a datacenter somewhere! Actually Germany I think (1 &
1).
I started trying to get RT working on this system but ran in to too many
dependency problems. So I looked at OTRS and it seemed easier to
install.
At the time I was trying RT I set up a host rt.mysystem.com which is the
same IP address as mysystem.com.
The web interface to otrs all works fine now, and the command line email
test cat /opt/otrs/doc/test-email-1.box | /opt/otrs/bin/PostMaster.pl
works ok too.
However, I would like to assign helpdesk users & queues to the system,
who will get mail for user@rt.mysystem.com , without having to have
linux accounts setup on mysystem.com , is this possible?
At the moment if I email a email address I have setup on rt.mysystem.com
like faults@rt.mysystem.com which points to the 'faults' queue, I get a
bounce back:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mystsystem.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) Obviously I'd like this to go to the faults queue.
Before OTRS can get the email, it has to be accepted by the server's MTA
(qmail as it seems). But it only accepts emails to valid accounts.
It's not necessary to setup an account for every single queue, though,
it will be sufficient to define mail aliases for every queue. For
example: define that mails for "faults" should go to user "otrs".
/etc/aliases (may be elsewhere)
faults: otrs

This issue has nothing to do with OTRS itself: your MTA (qmail) wasn't properly told where to deliver mail for faults@rt.mysystem.com. You have to check your qmail configuration, since mail doesn't get to OTRS. - Alessandro
