> with RMAs, we have both an RT ticket number and an separate tracking number
> for another system.  As it turns out, the RT ticket numbers are all 5 digits
> these days (going on 6) and the other number is 4 digits.  What happened was
> that by human error, the numbers can be mixed up whereby an arbitrary and
> very old RT ticket gets reopened when someone tries to update the RMA
> ticket.  Which is not a problem per se, support staff just close the ticket
> again, however, RT then emails out this customer from 5 years ago.

> So we were wondering if we can somehow catch emails referring to very old
> closed tickets and do something else with them.  Either email them to
> someone in particular, open up a new ticket, drop them altogether or
> possibly find the correct ticket based on the custom field which contains
> the 4-digit ticket number from the other system.

> procmail (if my fu is strong).
