There is a "Forwards" application/module that enables this. See  
http://horde.org/forwards  or even better, http://horde.org/sork -  
which contains the forwards module as well as a "Passwd" and  
"Vacation" module.

The short answer is "Yes".  The long answer is, it depends on what  
Horde is authenticating against.  You mention you are using a  
postfix/mysql backend.  It's possible to have horde and postfix share  
the same authentication tables, so this *should* be possible with your  
setup.

Again, the short answer is "Yes"....and it depends on the  
authentication method horde is using.  Horde supports a multitude of  
authentication backends, and it's not always possible for horde to  
manage the users itself.  As above, though, if your using some sort of  
SQL authentication, it should be possible. You might have to use some  
sort of custom queries if your using user tables other than Horde's  
default, but Horde allows for that directly in the administration  
interface.

I think I remember someone on the mailing list a while ago (or it  
might have been IRC) that set up the same thing you describe  
above...if they are still listening maybe they can chime in here with  
their experiences.


Thanks,
mike
