[rt-users] How to initiate a ticket in request tracker for an external supplier

[Gilbert Rebeiro]

Is this too obvious?

The needs are to initiate a ticket (email) that doesn't send an 
autoreply but is an email with the request showing the proper ticket 
number in subject line.
This would then be sent to the organization (email address) that needs 
to perform the task:
This way we can track the open task.
We can have updates populate the ticket when they reply to the email.
A RT user would be the requester in this case

Is anyone doing this?
There must be a way.
