It is the fully-qualified domain name of the machine that RT is running
on - it's actually 'galactica.ox.icnet.uk'.  In /opt/rt2/etc/config.pm,
I originally put the machine's domain name, as recommended, but I later
changed it to 'Req' to make the subjects less cluttered, when I realised
that was where this string was used.

I should add that '[Req #123]' appears as the subject to auto-create
emails, as I would expect - it's just the replies that seem to become
'[galactica.ox.icnet.uk #123]' ...

The only mentions of 'galactica.ox.icnet.uk' in the config.pm are as
part of the email/web addresses:

$CorrespondAddress='rt2 at galactica.ox.icnet.uk';
$CommentAddress='rt2 at galactica.ox.icnet.uk';
$WebBaseURL = "http://galactica.ox.icnet.uk:8080";

In answer to your second point, which other config.pm files could RT be
reading other than /opt/rt2/etc/config.pm ?

Dave.
