Darien,

Hmm..  This is a strange one.  On my system, if a user doesn't
specify a name for their 'default identity' and I haven't given
them a formal name using 'usermod -c', then the From: address
is their username@server.com.

This I believe is the default setting.  I haven't found a place
where it can be changed.  What happens if you temporarily remove
your account from the machine??  Who's account does it use?

As I am deploying Horde 2.0/IMP 3.1 to more users in my organization, 
I am noticing a strange behavior and I can't seem to track it down.

If a user creates an identity, or modifies their 'default identity' 
then everything works as expected.

If a user logs in to IMP and just composes and sends mail, the mail 
is sent with MY name (as it is configured in Red Hat 7.2 shell) and 
their email address as the FROM: (Darien Kruss <joe@example.com>)

Here's where I'm confused. None of the processes on the server run as 
me. My name doesn't appear in any config or prefs files. All software 
installation is done as root. If I change my account name (usermod -c 
'New Name' darien) then IMP uses THAT name.

At what point could IMP be reading the name of a user account in 
Linux and using it as the sender's name? I'm stumped.

My guess, it's not IMP that's doing it, but sendmail.  Sendmail us
getting your name from the /etc/passwd file.  Check your sendmail config
or set Horde up to use SMTP mode instead of sendmail mode.

Arg!  That is mail.ph.utexas.edu, no mail.utexas.edu, so:

https://mail.ph.utexas.edu/patches/misc/enriched.php.txt

Sorry.
