The sender address may be an option when sending reminders manually  
through Kronolith, but this won't work for automatic notifications.  
These will run through Horde_Alarm, which probably won't have the SMTP  
AUTH credentials for the owner of the calendar and may not have any  
SMTP AUTH credentials at all.

The latter is supposedly (almost) possible, through the  
$conf[reminder][server_name] and $conf[reminder][from_addr] in the  
Kronolith configuration. But since there is no way to set a password,  
this will not work for systems that require SMTP authentication.

I couldn't find where the $conf[reminder][from_addr] from the  
Kronolith configuration is used anyway, so this may be a feature that  
is not fully implemented yet.
