Not sure where that is coming from. In FRAMEWORK_5_1 we check for the  
presence of the From header and only add a new header if it's not  
found. See Horde_Core_ActiveSync_Driver::sendMail().  In master (which  
currently contains Horde 5.2 code) we actually always remove the From  
header and add a new one see the same method as above.

I can verify that sending email from an EAS client works perfectly  
fine here. Check your mail server logs to see why the message was  
rejected (or if the message was ever seen by the smtp server at all).

This is inside the Horde::debug() method, which wouldn't be something  
added by us. It's only used during debugging.

Probably related to above.
