This is exactly what I wanted. I am looking for a way that I can add
mail accounts with out adding real users on my unix box, then give
them the ability to log on to imp and check their mail. I am not sure
if the above solution will work with oBSD, but I guess I will give it
a try on my dev. box running oBSD 2.7 -current which will have the
latest IMP and horde dev. versions.
However, in the mean time, I do have a "(a slightly munged version
of) $SERVER_NAME in the
from_server variable"
Thanks for the info!
Best Regards
