We're not sure. Those that know aren't telling.
Seriously, many of the components have somewhat awkward acronyms as their names, such as the **I**nternet **M**essaging **P**rogram, or the **W**eb-based **H**orde **U**nified **P**roject **S**ystem. The maintainer of the FAQ has a suspicion that others were pulled at random from an [http://www.ikea.com/ IKEA] catalogue. Besides, it's more fun to let you guess.

++++ Why do you use the terms blacklist and whitelist? Those terms are racist.
+
+No, they are not. See, e.g., [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=imp&m=113435148814240&w=2 one of many mailing list discussions on the origins of ther terms]. Simply put, "blacklist" and "whitelist" are the most concise terms we can use to accurately describe the underlying filtering mechanism. (If you can think of a more precise term, let us know!)

+If you want to change the terms on your local install, see our [http://wiki.horde.org/FAQ/Admin/Config?referrer=FAQ%2FAdmin#toc5 documentation on how to change phrases].
