Before we get too far, the naming scheme is a mess, too.
PostMaster Filter can ask for X-OTRS-CustomerUser (username/login) and
X-OTRS-CustomerNo (CustomerID)
the ticket table stores BOTH customer_id (company) and customer_user_id
(login).

I'm willing to accept any alternative points of view, and the documentation
should win, but in this case, I have a few doubts. I'd hate it if I've been
posting incorrect information, and will correct it if I'm wrong.
