[horde] _username_hook_frombackend not used by Horde, only by IMP

[Oscar Retana]

Hallo Jan.

I use '_username_hook_frombackend' for modifying the username (add
virtual domain part). But,
according to what you say, I should use the
'_horde_hook_preauthenticate' to change the username used by Horde
authentication.

The problem is that, according to the example included in hooks.php, the
return value for is function seems to be a boolean value. If I return
the modifyed username (as in '_username_hook_frombackend') will that
value be used at all?

Thanks!

- Oscar.
