CommandByEmail has a rather simpleminded approach to parsing.  Any 2 
words starting at the beginning of a line separated by a colon are 
treated as a command.

To deal with I use the attached perl script to filter out colons to 
mail coming to rt queues exposed to the outside world.  This could 
easily be modified to add exceptions,  other munging of the message,  etc.
