Hi margaretohler, welcome to the community.

 

Whenever anyone emails the Helpdesk without an existing ticket number in the subject field a new ticket will be created. So the best practice is to direct your customers to email the Helpdesk directly.

Also, avoid behaviors where the Helpdesk is being CC'd on Emails.
