Our RT installation are mostly feed using email, and our users have
not quite learned to limit their request to only one queue. This
typically give us two tickets, one in each queue, with CC set to the
address of the other queue. When someone add correspondence to these
tickets, RT tries to send an email to the queue address of the other
queue, and the RT administrators (for example me), get an email from
RT with the report of a suspected bounce.
I am getting tired of this, so I sat down to write a script to
automatically get rid of these Requestor, CC and AdminCC entries. The
script is below, and it seem to work. The only problem is that it is
dead slow. It uses several seconds per ticket. I see 2-3 seconds
between ‘.’ is printed in debug mode. Am I doing something wrong
here?

Look at all open tickets, and remove all queue addresses from
requestor, cc and admincc. This reduces the amount of bounce emails
sent to the RT admins.
