It is crazy that we cannot turn off the ability for people to create NEW tickets via email. This defeats the purpose of having a portal with services and questions the user needs to answer.

It is also crazy that we have to allow those tickets to be created, and then have to build a workflow in every workspace to delete those tickets.  As well as having to manually forget/delete any requester that gets created from those emails not already in the system or coming from group distribution or shared email accounts.

Please, Please, Please - give us an Admin Toggle that disables the creation of NEW tickets via email - stops the email from creating any tickets, stops the email address from creating a requester if not in the system, and bounces their email - or even better - sends them an email reply that says their email has been rejected and they need to use the portal.  This should be a workspace setting, but if not, a global setting!

This is what we are hoping to accomplish as well. We need to be able to RESPOND to tickets that have been entered into the portal but we need NEW emails not to create new tickets.
