[dev] SMTP settings ignored

[Sebastian Birnbach]

I am setting up a new horde system from scratch. Horde authentication is
against an SQL database; imp uses the passed through credentials on the
IMAP server (doevecot), which checks it against the same SQL database.
Reason was that login will be possible as long as the SQL dab is up, even
if dovecot is down.

I want users to supply fixed credentials to the SMPT server so I set those
in Configuration->Horde->Mailer:
$conf[mailer][type] = SMTP
$conf[mailer][params][host]
and so on.

I supplied username in $conf[mailer][params][username] and password in
$conf[mailer][params][password]. I also unchecked
$conf[mailer][params][username_auth] and
$conf[mailer][params][password_auth]. However, all users' SMTP
authentications gets rejected every time.

For testing I configured an unencrypted connection to port 25 and
tcpdump'ed the conversation. The credentials that get transmitted are that
of the user, not the configured ones. The username is sent without
domainname, just as used for Horde login.

Is there any setting that might keep imp from using the set credentials for
SMTP?
