+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ rt-mailgate --help : this text
+
+Usual invocation (from MTA):
+
+ rt-mailgate --action (correspond|comment|...) --queue queuename
+ --url http://your.rt.server/
+ [ --debug ]
+ [ --extension (queue|action|ticket) ]
+ [ --timeout seconds ]
+
+
+
+See C<man rt-mailgate> for more.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 3
+
+=item C<--action>
+
+Specifies what happens to email sent to this alias. The avaliable
+basic actions are: C<correspond>, C<comment>.
+
+
+If you've set the RT configuration variable B<$RT::UnsafeEmailCommands>,
+C<take> and C<resolve> are also available. You can execute two or more
+actions on a single message using a C<-> separated list. RT will execute
+the actions in the listed order. For example you can use C<take-comment>,
+C<correspond-resolve> or C<take-comment-resolve> as actions.
+
+Note that C<take> and C<resolve> actions ignore message text if used
+alone. Include a C<comment> or C<correspond> action if you want RT
+to record the incoming message.
+
+The default action is C<correspond>.
+
+=item C<--queue>
+
+This flag determines which queue this alias should create a ticket in if no ticket identifier
+is found.
+
+=item C<--url>
+
+This flag tells the mail gateway where it can find your RT server. You should
+probably use the same URL that users use to log into RT.
+
+
+=item C<--extension> OPTIONAL
+
+Some MTAs will route mail sent to user-foo@host or user+foo@host to user@host
+and present "foo" in the environment variable $EXTENSION. By specifying
+the value "queue" for this parameter, the queue this message should be
+submitted to will be set to the value of $EXTENSION. By specifying
+"ticket", $EXTENSION will be interpreted as the id of the ticket this message
+is related to. "action" will allow the user to specify either "comment" or
+"correspond" in the address extension.
+
+=item C<--debug> OPTIONAL
+
+Print debugging output to standard error
+
+
+=item C<--timeout> OPTIONAL
+
+Configure the timeout for posting the message to the web server. The
+default timeout is 3 minutes (180 seconds).
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The RT mail gateway is the primary mechanism for communicating with RT
+via email. This program simply directs the email to the RT web server,
+which handles filing correspondence and sending out any required mail.
+It is designed to be run as part of the mail delivery process, either
+called directly by the MTA or C<procmail>, or in a F<.forward> or
+equivalent.
+
+=head1 SETUP
+
+Much of the set up of the mail gateway depends on your MTA and mail
+routing configuration. However, you will need first of all to create an
+RT user for the mail gateway and assign it a password; this helps to
+ensure that mail coming into the web server did originate from the
+gateway.
+
+Next, you need to route mail to C<rt-mailgate> for the queues you're
+monitoring. For instance, if you're using F</etc/aliases> and you have a
+"bugs" queue, you will want something like this:
+
+ bugs: "|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue bugs --action correspond
+ --url http://rt.mycorp.com/"
+
+ bugs-comment: "|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue bugs --action comment
+ --url http://rt.mycorp.com/"
+
+Note that you don't have to run your RT server on your mail server, as
+the mail gateway will happily relay to a different machine.
+
+=head1 CUSTOMIZATION
+
+By default, the mail gateway will accept mail from anyone. However,
+there are situations in which you will want to authenticate users
+before allowing them to communicate with the system. You can do this
+via a plug-in mechanism in the RT configuration.
+
+You can set the array C<@RT::MailPlugins> to be a list of plugins. The
+default plugin, if this is not given, is C<Auth::MailFrom> - that is,
+authentication of the person is done based on the C<From> header of the
+email. If you have additional filters or authentication mechanisms, you
+can list them here and they will be called in order:
+
+ @RT::MailPlugins = (
+ "Filter::SpamAssassin",
+ "Auth::LDAP",
+ # ...
+ );
+
+See the documentation for any additional plugins you have.
+
+You may also put Perl subroutines into the C<@RT::MailPlugins> array, if
+they behave as described below.
+
+=head1 WRITING PLUGINS
+
+What's actually going on in the above is that C<@RT::MailPlugins> is a
+list of Perl modules; RT prepends C<RT::Interface::Email::> to the name,
+to form a package name, and then C<use>'s this module. The module is
+expected to provide a C<GetCurrentUser> subroutine, which takes a hash of
+several parameters:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Message
+
+A C<MIME::Entity> object representing the email
+
+=item CurrentUser
+
+An C<RT::CurrentUser> object
+
+=item AuthStat
+
+The authentication level returned from the previous plugin.
+
+=item Ticket [OPTIONAL]
+
+The ticket under discussion
+
+=item Queue [OPTIONAL]
+
+If we don't already have a ticket id, we need to know which queue we're talking about
+
+=item Action
+
+The action being performed. At the moment, it's one of "comment" or "correspond"
+
+=back 4
+
+It returns two values, the new C<RT::CurrentUser> object, and the new
+authentication level. The authentication level can be zero, not allowed
+to communicate with RT at all, (a "permission denied" error is mailed to
+the correspondent) or one, which is the normal mode of operation.
+Additionally, if C<-1> is returned, then the processing of the plug-ins
+stops immediately and the message is ignored.
