</span>It is possible to create a user - that has an email address as a<br>
"name". RT uses the field "name" to mean username.<br>
<br>
I just tested it on my 4.2 test system and it works.<br>

</span>AutoCreateNonExternalUsers makes it sound like it auto creates local<br>
users - I'm not sure how that applies here.<br>
<br>
Perhaps that config variable is for an extension or extra module.<br>
