I have given you the code for requester change , but you want to change 
it to a particular value .. you need to figure out where are you getting 
this value from ist in the original email text?? , do you have a queue 
for each customer?? how are you expecting RT to know when email comes 
in, the ticket created is for customer X and hence the email address 
X at mycustomer.com should be added as requester??

Regards;
Roy
