[horde] Horde Alarms / Reminder Notifications

[Brian Spraker]

A quick update to the horde alarms problem.

I just went in and changed the authentication from 'No Authentication' to using an authentication method.  I then put in a username/password into the config.

Made a test event and just received the e-mail moments ago.

So if anyone else is having problems getting reminder e-mails about events, it appears you MUST use some kind of SMTP authentication and put in a proper username/password into the config.  If using No Authentication, it doesn't work.
