Adding to what Kevin said, you can configure incoming email addresses 
for the entire RT in RT_SiteConfig.pm:

http://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/latest/RT_Config.html#CorrespondAddress-CommentAddress

You can configure email addresses assigned to individual queues on the 
queue configuration page:

Admin > Queues, then click on a queue.

But as Kevin said, rt-mailgate handles delivery. These settings are to 
make sure the From on outgoing mail is set so requestors can reply back.
