 Set up a mail alias called "issue_tracker" as:

+  "|/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/roundup-mailgw <instance_home>"
 
 In some installations (e.g. RedHat 6.2 I think) you'll need to set up smrsh
 so sendmail will accept the pipe command. In that case, symlink
-/etc/smrsh/python to /usr/bin/python and change the command to:
-  "|python /home/httpd/html/roundup/roundup-mailgw <instance_home>"
+/etc/smrsh/roundup-mailgw to /usr/local/bin/roundup-mailgw and change the
+command to:

+
+To test the mail gateway on unix systems, try:
+
+  echo test |mail -s '[issue] test' issue_tracker@your.domain
