Hello,

We just moved our RT machine from being on a public interface to being behind a firewall with a public interface.

So previously the RT server was located at public IP: xx.xx.xxx.xx
and now the RT server is at 172.17.1.2 and the firewall has a public IP of xx.xx.xxx.xx that goes to the RT server

Before the move in /etc/aliases I have

rt: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue GTC --debug --action correspond -- url http://rt.domain.com";

since the move I have tried

rt: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue GTC --debug --action correspond -- url http://localhost/";

and

rt: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue GTC --debug --action correspond -- url http://172.17.1.2/";

and it is not working. If I look in the maillog (which Is where I assume I should be looking?) I see a lot of this:

Jun 10 10:36:02 rt sendmail[23281]: n58H5SsX004282: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input Jun 10 10:37:02 rt sendmail[23281]: n58H5SsX004282: to="|/etc/smrsh/rt- mailgate --queue GTC --debug --action correspond --url http://rt.hcc.net/ ", ctladdr=<hcticket...@localhost> (8/0), delay=2+00:31:34, xdelay=00:03:00, mailer=prog, pri=4441712, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: prog mailer (/usr/sbin/smrsh) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL Jun 10 10:39:02 rt sendmail[23281]: n58H5SsY004282: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input Jun 10 10:40:02 rt sendmail[23281]: n58H5SsY004282: to="|/etc/smrsh/rt- mailgate --queue GTC --debug --action correspond --url http://rt.hcc.net/ ", ctladdr=<hcticket...@localhost> (8/0), delay=2+00:34:34, xdelay=00:03:00, mailer=prog, pri=4441718, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: prog mailer (/usr/sbin/smrsh) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL Jun 10 10:42:03 rt sendmail[23281]: n58H5Ssh004282: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input Jun 10 10:43:03 rt sendmail[23281]: n58H5Ssh004282: to="|/etc/smrsh/rt- mailgate --queue GTC --debug --action correspond --url http://rt.hcc.net/ ", ctladdr=<hcticket...@localhost> (8/0), delay=2+00:37:34, xdelay=00:03:01, mailer=prog, pri=4441746, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: prog mailer (/usr/sbin/smrsh) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL


It is my understanding that rt-mailgate needs to be able to connect to the address that users connect to to create the tickets via mail, so it should be connecting to rt.domain.com if my understanding is correct. Is there a way for me to fix this since it seems that it is unable to connect to that public interface other than changing the firewall?
