I might have an analogous situtation.
Our security team might find a machine they have to filter off
the network. They can lookup the net admin for that department,
and they want to create an RT ticket with that admin as CC,
so they can record the subsequent interactions.
They want all email to go through RT, so they don't want the
initial email to go directly to the admin. They want the initial
mail to go ONLY to RT, but they want RT to THINK the admin
was cc'ed on the email.
As it turned out for an unrelated reason, we run procmail ahead of
RT, and we have a procmail rule that changes headers like this:
Comments: cc: b...@abc.com
to this:
cc: b...@abc.com
So, the security team sends off an email like this:
To: rt-qu...@abc.com
From: secur...@abc.com
Comments: Cc: netad...@abc.com
The admin gets only a single piece of mail, from RT.
And when he replies, it goes back to RT.
