In case anybody has a use for it, here is a little script that accepts
mails for "done at support.mydomain.com", extracts the ticket number and 
closes this ticket with a comment.

	#!/usr/bin/perl -W
	# Quick and dirty script, no real return code checking.
	use Sys::Syslog;

	openlog("rt-mail-done", 0, LOG_DAEMON);

	$mail = join("", <STDIN>);

	if ($mail =~ /^Subject.*\[Ticket #([0-9]+)\]/m) {
	  $ticketstring = "ticket/$1";
	} else {
	  die("No ticket number found!");
	}

	$cmd = "rt comment -m 'Ticket has been closed via email.' $ticketstring";
	$out = "$cmd: ".`$cmd 2>&1`; chomp($out); syslog(LOG_INFO, $out);

	$cmd = "rt edit $ticketstring set status=resolved";
	$out = "$cmd: ".`$cmd 2>&1`; chomp($out); syslog(LOG_INFO, $out);

	exit(0);
