[horde] Setting mail server in shared environment ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

I'm setting up a clean install of horde, and would like to suggest a 
change to the configuration procedures that I'm not sure if can be done, 
but ... well, can't hurt to suggest ...

In our configuration, each of our clients has their own mail server, its 
not one big shared one ... so, we have our mailer configured as:

$conf['mailer']['params']['host'] = 'mail.' . preg_replace('|^webmail\.|i', '', $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]);

So that each client connecting is configured for their individual domain, 
but without having multiple copies installed ...

After I made this change to conf.php (after configuration through the 
GUI), and went back to the GUI, the setting is now set to:

 		mail.wm2.hub.org

Which, if I saved that, would, of course, break everything ...

If there is a way, having some way of giving an option for the 'The Server 
to Connect To" option be a select box with two choices:

       Derive from web URL (similar to above)
       Hardcode Hostname

Just wish list ... if nothing else, might help others setting things up 
in a shared environment ...L
