If can can send mail, you're at least not totally closed out from the email 
infrastructure.

If you can setup a server that can send out mail, this is an achievement 
itself in a restricted corporate environment - assuming you're doing this at 
least semi-offical.
Why don't you see a chance in talking the people in power to have two 
aliases forwarded to your rt-server ? 

Any other commercial ticketing system with email-integration wouldn't make 
much a difference. 

While I have looked at using RT without the email component, it is in my 
opinion very limited and not worth the effort.
Only with the ability for people to send a mail "as usual" it becomes a true 
time- and trouble-saver. 

But YMMV.
