The default requestor is the email address of the user you are logged
in as.

Trying to create a ticket where the Requestor is the CorrespondAddress
in RT is a recipe for making loops if there are ever any
notifications.

You really don't want to do that

You could certainly unset a number of things and file off the serial
numbers and RT will let you do this, but I'm not going to recommend
it.
