Our university has an "official" ticketing system, and one of our
support groups wants to use RT instead.

To make this happen, we're configuring the "official" ticketing system
to send e-mail to an RT queue.  We've written a custom "on create"
scrip in that queue that modifies the ticket when it comes in to set
the "Requester" correctly (e-mail from the other system comes from a
fixed address, not from the client's address; we parse the contents of
the e-mail to ascertain the client's e-mail address directly).  We'd
like our custom scrip to also send an e-mail to the other system to
close that ticket.

What's the canonical way to send e-mail from RT to an external address
without adding correspondence to the RT ticket itself?  I found some
documentation about how to add a transaction to the ticket from within
the scrip, which generates an e-mail, but that's not really what I
want to do here.  I'd rather send a basic plain-text e-mail from
within the scrip.

Is that possible?
