You need an aliases router, fairly early on in your config, as follows:

system_aliases:
driver = redirect
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
# uncomment the following if you want to restrict to specific domains
# domains = +local_domains
# uncomment the following if you want to restrict to a single domain
domains = your.local.domain

Then have in your alias file the line you previously mentioned:

rt-general: "|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action
correspond --url http://rt3.ukgrid.net/"

Such that someone mailing rt-general@??? will go into RT.
You can then create custom email addresses for specific queues by
changing the alias "rt-general" to, say, "network-team" and change the
queue in the pipe to "network-team". That assumes you have a queue
called network-team, obviously :)

HTH - if it doesn't, run "exim -d -bt rt-general@???" and
post the output here if it doesn't help you.
