smtp host for misc POP3 'change_server'

[Justin Zachor]

Three issues - first a request, next a question, and last I'm having
trouble with change_server. (Horde and IMP are otherwise running fine
:^)

1.  server-list 

I'd like to have a server list, in addition to allowing the user to
specify an unlisted server. Is this presently possible? Future?

2.  Question 

Is there any problem setting horde/IMP to use 'localhost' for IMAP auth?
PHP is executed on the server, yes, so if the horde/IMP installation is
on the same machine as the IMAP server, then will 'localhost' work? What
about for SMTP? The reason I ask is that I want to eliminate any chance
of routing through the nearest router (vs staying local).

3.  change_server 

Last, I don't see a means of specifying an accompanying smtp host when a
user types in their own mail server. Is IMP trying to use the
user-specified pop3 host, or my local smtp server (as I think I see in
the log). 

In my case, the smtp server running localy (where horde/IMP are running)
is setup to not relay for foreign domains.  

For example, my DSL provider is Mojo.net (so I mainly use pop3.mojo.net
& smtp.mojo.net).  This means I can't tell IMP to use smtp.mojo.net
unless I list mojo.net in servers.php, where I can also specify an
smtphost.

  T 20020202 183532 3c5ba7f8 Connection from 127.0.0.1
  T 20020202 183532 3c5ba7f8 EHLO localhost

  T 20020202 183532 3c5ba7f8 Connection closed with 127.0.0.1, 0 sec.
elapsed.

Here's my Horde log:

  Feb 02  HORDE [error] [imp] unable to add recipient
[cuke at pickles.net]: 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry. [on line
787 of "d:\htserv\htdocs\horde\imp\compose.php"]

Do I need to allow relay to anywhere, so long as it's from 127.0.0.1 (or
wherever horde is)? (this in turn relates to question #2)

(Whew!)

Not currently. Patch?

Shouldn't be a problem. Have you tried?
