First off you should upgrade to 2.2.4 if it's at all possible; there are
security vulnerabilities in your version that have since been fixed, along
with a large number of smaller bugs and issues.

I think the best way for you to do this is to add a mysql command to your
user creation shell script, which adds a row to the imp_pref table with
the email and full name.  You're going to have to learn a little bit about
MySQL to make this work in your environment, but something like the
following is what you want.  I have not tested this particular command!
It's just an example to get you started.  :-)

echo "INSERT INTO imp_pref (user,fullname,replyto) VALUES
('username@servername','John Doe','john-doe@example.com');" | mysql -h
mysqlserver -u hordemgr -p hordepass horde

The "@servername" part needs to match what you have configured in
imp/config/defaults.php3 for $default->server.
