Here too that is the cause of a lot of user confusion.
I wanted to look into the userinfo hooks, but we serve
a lot of different mailservers, whose users are not all
defined in the central ldap database. Using the userinfo
hook to get the real name and email adres, and hiding the
From: field for those users who are not in ldap, would
be a nice solution.
