} This should be possible, though if the algorithm to translate the from
} addresses is deterministic, why don't you use the from hook?

The From_ address can be found by doing a lookup in the 
/etc/postfix/virtual file, but the full name is only stored in the horde 
database. I'd much rather pull that data from the horde db than to try and 
parse the info from postfix's virtual file, since the db contains both the 
fullname and From_ fields. Worse case sceniro, I could add a fullname 
field to the virtual file ala a comment after each entry.

What I'd rather do is find the if statement that tells IMP to look into 
the db if changing fullname/from is allowed, since I want IMP to look into 
the db either even if changing those fields isn't allowed. 

} And btw, you don't need 10 installs to host virtual domains unless you want
} to provide different version numbers to these domains.

Is there a FAQ I missed about this? I want/need to keep different sets of 
prefs for the domains [eg: lock one domain out of changing their From_ 
header, but not another domain]. 

TIA,
