Nelson, In the Rt book it states that "Modern Versions of Sendmail require all programs called from the /etc/aliases file to be symlinked into the /etc/smrsh/ directory. You will receive DSN:Service unavailable erros if you haven't done this."
Here is what they say to use to setup the link: ln -s /opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate /etc/smrsh I only say tis since you show an error message from smrsh and in that there is a Service unavailable message. As for being hard to setup best Practical can answer that. It is an Open Source package and although the setup can be frustrating the end result is a very good product. If you haven't done so the book RT Essentials is a reccommended resource to have on the desk. At least you have something you can just grab and look through to give you an idea of what went wrong.
