At first I thought you could do this via scrips - parse the message body 
for the new email address and use the Ticket API to set the requestor. But 
the problem with that is that you don't have control over the order in 
which scrips execute - RT may have already autoreplied to the original 
"requestor" email address before your custom scrip makes the change to the 
correct requestor.

So I think you'll have to modify the code that process incoming email - 
take a look at the Gateway method of lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm. You have 
access to the MIME entity there so you may be able to rewrite the From header.

Or - lib/RT/Interface/Email/Auth/MailFrom.pm seems to be where RT 
determines the user by parsing the From header - you could maybe modify 
that instead.
