[imp] (Send)mail aliases

Uh, IMP 2.0 requires Horde 1.0. I'm surprised that it even *works*,
let alone works correctly, if those are the accurate version numbers.

It actually doesn't matter. I have tried using IMP 2.0 with Horde 1.0,
but the result was the same.

Their pop3-based mailer allows them to change their From: header, and
apparently they've changed it correctly. /etc/aliases only affects
*incoming* mail; it sounds like you want to make some rewriting rules
for outgoing mail in sendmail. IMP just calls sendmail; since you
don't allow the users to enter the correct From: themselves, it uses
the naive default of their username.

Since I have aliases for incoming mail I use the genericstable for outgoing
as well, where the username@domain.com gets mapped into
firstname.lastname@domain.com
Of course users use Netscape Messenger for example and enter their mail
address as firstname.lastname@domain.com, but even with the native
console-based e-mail it still uses genericstable correlctly (the From:
address gets mapped to firstname.lastname@domain.com).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Depends on the version you're using; I'll assume 2.2, in which case all you need
is $default->hide_deleted = false; in imp/config/defaults.php3 (read through
imp/config/defaults.php3.dist for explanations of all of the options).
