I think we have different requirements: We're dealing mostly with companies
having mail addresses like support at company where two or more users are using
horde. Actually we have more than 20 support accounts and over 130 domains.

What about an alternative solution, that should cover both (and future,
perhaps more weird) usecases? I'm thinking about an additional ldap auth
property where you can input a second filter string for all ldap_search
queries other than login. You can make it optionally ('Take the login
filter'[default], 'Define another'). Wouldn't be that big change and would
cover the current needs.

If you and the horde developers like that idea I can come up with a patch.
