[horde] Activesync resetting IOS Emergency Bypass settings

Hello all,

I've run into a strange problem.  I have an iphone running ios 10.3.3.  
  In horde I have my family contacts setup in a separate address book,  
and those contacts sync to my iphone.  On the iphone, I set these  
contacts up with a specific ring and text tone.  I use the iphone do  
not disturb feature that is set from 11pm to 7am.  My contacts, are  
also set up with Emergency Bypass on.  That way, not matter what time  
of day, their calls and texts will always come through.

The issue I have is that a some time, this setting is being removed.   
I can't point to a specific time after I have set them that this has  
happened.  The first time this happened, I thought maybe I had done  
something to cause it.  So, I set them up again, with the same results  
after some amount of time.  The third time this happened, I set them  
up to bypass again, and also set some contacts that are synced with my  
company's exchange server that way as well.  Again, after some amount  
of time, the horde contacts were reverted, but the exchange ones  
weren't.  Set the horde contacts up for a fourth
time.

This weekend, I missed a text from my son about an incident, and sure  
enough the bypass settings had been reset for my horde contacts.  I  
looked at the contacts that I set from the exchange server, and they  
still had not been reset.  So to me, this is pointing to something  
that is being done with horde.  There's nothing scientific with what I  
did, and I can't prove 100% that it's something in horde, but I can  
state that the exchange contacts keep their settings, and the horde  
contacts don't.

Does anyone else use this IOS feature with contacts synced with horde?  
  If no, could/would someone please set it up, and try to duplicate  
what I am seeing?  Again, I can't tell you how long the settings will  
stick, but if you see the same as I, at some time, those settings will  
be removed.

I could provide a sync log, but I don't know if there would be  
anything in it to tell you why it all of a sudden reverts back.

I'm up for other ideas as well.  My horde setup uses horde, imp, ingo,  
turba, kronolith, nag, mnemo, gollem, and trean, all up to date.

Thank you,

John
