OK, I switched over to file-based session storage, and confirmed that 
various "sess_*" files are being created.  I'm not familiar with PHP 
session-management, but I'll describe what I observed:

Immediately after pointing my browser at
"http://www.example.com/horde/imp", I got the login screen.  Three
"sess_*"  files were created, two of which were 0-length and the third
38-bytes long.  It's contents were:

prefs_cache|a:1:{s:7:"_filled";a:0:{}}

After attempting (and failing) to log in, I noticed that 3 more "sess_*" 
files were created, one of which was 0-length, one 38 bytes long, and one 
536 bytes long.  This last one appeared to have meaningful information in 
it, such as values for "userID", "password", "timestamp", "user", "pass", 
etc.

The log below shows the value of $GLOBALS[HTTP_SESSION_VARS]['imp'] before 
and after it is assigned &$imp.  Before, it's value is [0].  Afterwards, 
its value is [1].  However, in IMP::setupSession, it still fails the 
isset() test.

Based on what's happening here, I'm wondering whether I've screwed up some 
fundamental PHP or Apache configuration setting somewhere.  How is 
$GLOBALS[HTTP_SESSION_VARS]['imp'] set and preserved across the individual 
file-level scope?...

(BTW, sorry to be cluttering up the mailing list this way.  I DO 
appreciate the advice and help folks have been supplying...)

Subject: FIXED:  unqualified address problem

I feel like I've been crying wolf all day about this.  I have actually fixed
this problem in my installation.

SUMMARY:  IMP correctly appends the default domain to the message headers in the
DATA portion of the email addresses, but the RCPT-TO recipients remain
unqualified if they are entered unqualified.

Here's the deal..

At some point MIME::encodeAddress is called by horde/lib/MIME/Message.php's
encode function (around line 80).  This block of code seems to generate the
message headers that appear in the DATA block of the message.

        foreach ($headers as $key => $val) {
            if ($key == 'To' || $key == 'Cc' || $key == 'Bcc' || $key == 'From')
 {
                $headers[$key] = MIME::encodeAddress($val, $charset, $this->defa
ultServer);
            } else {
                $headers[$key] = MIME::encode($val, $charset);
            }
        }
        return $headers;

This works fine.  Unqualified addresses get the maildomain pegged on their
butts, and all goes on their merry way.  Try as I might to understand, I'm not
sure how, where, when this happens in the whole mail composition process.

But... the piece of code the processes the recipients that are going to end up
in the RCPT-TO portion of the message (the information sendmail actually uses to
try and deliever the mail) doesn't contain any domain information.  

horde/imp/compose.php (the SEND_MESSAGE case, ~ line 740)
         $status = $mailer->send(MIME::encodeAddress($recipients), $headers,
$msg);

$recipients doesn't necessarily contain any domain information and if there are
recipients without domain information, MIME::encodeAddress is going to assume
localhost unless it is told otherwise.

So.... I made the following change..

         $status = $mailer->send(MIME::encodeAddress($recipients, '', $imp['mail
domain']), $headers, $msg);

and things seem to be swell.  Can one of the real developer types take a look at
this, and commit it if my logic is sound?  sorry to have been such a bother.

Liam
