OK, the problem is apparently in the email addresses parsing (notice
the lack of an user name before "via RT" above). Some messages are
accepted, not all. For instance, this message was registered by RT:

while this one was not:

I can only assume that the second syntax (with the quotes) for the
From: address, while perfectly legal, was not recognized by RT.
