Hi all,
        On some pointers from Eric (much appreciated) I changed the $conf['mailer']['type'] = 'sendmail';  from sendmail to smtp.  Doing this gives me an error sending mail, thru IMP..."There was an error sending your message: unable to authenticate to smtp server"

I think I missed a step..somewhere in my servers.php(I think)  This is what I have configured in my servers.php..

$servers['_prompt'] = array(
    'name' => _("Choose a mail server:")
);

$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'server' => 'www.mydomain.net',
    'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => 'mail/',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'mydomain.net',
    'smtphost' => 'localhost',
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => 'true'
);

I took a look at http://www.horde.org/faq/admin/config/index.php#c28 and made the following changes in my /../horde.php :

$conf['mailer']['params'] = array();
$conf['mailer']['params'] = array('sendmail_path' => '/usr/lib/sendmail');
$conf['mailer']['params'] = array('host' => 'localhost');

// Added by me on 6.17.2003 This will allow for SMTP authentication
// when sending mail
$conf['mailer']['params']['auth'] = true;

 I don't quite know the answer to this. but I will read up.  Does Sendmail provide for smtp auth....
