I think those should work fine, though I'm more familiar with Horde 2.1.

Well, you probably could force it in there if you tried hard enough, but
it would be much easier to use the provided hooks instead :)

Yes, though I don't know of anyone who has done this, or any code to do it.
You would need to modify the provided vinfo hook to:

1) Take the provided user@domain address
2) Open the virtusertable database and resolve the user@domain to userid
3) Return that userid

It would be tempting to use the virtusertable flat file, but I would take
the extra steps of using the database file instead.  PHP has functions to
deal with most *db database formats, which I think would work for your case.
