It won't affect them at all you're just getting past apache in this path -- 
anything under NoAuth is just that in RT... RT::Interface::Email::Gateway() 
is what is getting executed (essentially -- acutally it's the mason 
mail-gateway /usr/local/rt3/share/html/REST/1.0/NoAuth/mail-gateway in 
FreeBSD) and it makes a run by the guts of the 
RT::Interface::Email::Auth::MailFrom package in order to figure out the 
Auth, so that path ignores your REMOTE_USER.

And yeah it's a bit convoluted but it works :)

Hope that answers your question.
