The variables in config.pm get imported into $RT:: space, so $rtname in
config.pm == $RT::rtname.  (repeat for the incorrectly spelt $Organization
;) )

Looking through the code, the subject tags are always generated from
$RT::rtname, hence a change to config.pm and a restart of apache cannot
produce the behaviour you are describing.  (rtname isn't read from the
database)

Now, mod_perl caches an astounding amount of data, so when someone says
'restart apache', whats actually meant is 'stop apache completely, make
sure no httpd processes are running, have a cup of coffee, start apache'.
The behaviour that you are describing (assuming that all of your updates
which use the incorrect $rtname have been via the web interface) *could*
be occuring through mod_perl caching, which is not cleared out by a simple
'apachectl restart'.

If that doesn't fix it (and apologies for having to repeat the bleeding
obvious), blow away the files in the WebRT/data and WebRT/html
directories, completely restart apache again and see how that goes.

Failing *that*, can't help you; you have a really bizarre problem.  See
Jesse for consulting rates, or reinstall.

According to that format, my phone number is 205/354.444, which looks even
more like a broken CIDR expression.
