If a user had sent me a ticket-worthy request, I'd forward the email to the ticket email with my code word in the body.
#customer customeremail@domain.tld

The postmaster filter gets it then the ticket gets created and assigned to the customer.

Agents who would be assigned to the Queue in his "My Queues" and have the notification enabled gets a chance to grab the ticket, lock it, respond, close...

I agree about that goal.

However, at least in my organization, there are a few users who
hesitate to use the support system at all - they just email agents
directly. Then, as you well know, it is impossible for anyone else in
the team to participate in the support.

I thought this might be a way to encourage those users to do (from my
perspective) the right thing.
