We went with having lots of specific queues initially (we're a large

overhead in getting users to send jobs to the correct email address (and
hence the correct queue) and also an overhead in sorting tickets in to
queues yourself.

Hope that helps

Actually - it does.  :-)
I can see how "queue proliferation" can become burdensome.

We have 8 queues (Accounting, AV, Hardware, Helpdesk, Software, SysAdmin, Unassigned, & Website (content)) - but will probably drop the Unassigned and have the Helpdesk queue be the default queue (the one that mailgate uses to dump tickets into RT).
