Do you mean that the user is able to somehow by-pass the requirement  
that account has to be added as a Device Admin App, or do you mean  
that if you setup Horde's ActiveSync to not *require* provisioning the  
device is not able to be wiped?

Unless I'm mistaken, the ability of an application to remote wipe the  
entire device is actually determined by the application and system  
itself. For instance, I think the stock android app normally wipes the  
entire device, while an application like "Nine" will only wipe the EAS  
account data.  There's nothing in the provisioning protocol that  
specifies the "level" of wipe to do. It's just a command to "wipe".
