Ah, I see what you mean.  As an alternative, you could (a) modify
mailgate such that, instead of creating a new ticket (when it doesn't
find a [$sitename #foo] in the subject), it forwards the message to a
particular email address, and (b) modify the Create A New Ticket page to
send an email to that address instead of creating the ticket.  Then, the
NOC folks could monitor that email account (shared IMAP folder, or
something).
