That's what I was thinking of (on-demand-update, before sending out the ticket mail). After all it can easilly be implemented via a simple socket script listening over inetd, or by using ssh... I don't see how that's going to be more complicated than breaking out of the dotcourier-maildrop jail.. ;) Of course the cleanest way would be to use a database. Courier is one of the easiest mtas to setup with databases (in Michelle's case: authpgsql), and this solution doesn't require any quirks, breakouts, or whatever..
