[imp] virtual users and their from addys...

[Daniel Frazier]

FWIW, I finally got this working.  hope this helps someone down the
road...

horde/config/hooks.conf:

if (!function_exists('_prefs_hook_from_addr')) {
     function _prefs_hook_from_addr($user = null)
     {
         if (is_null($user)) {
             $user = Auth::getAuth();
         }
         if (strstr($user, '%')) {
             return preg_replace('|%|', '@', $user);         } else {
             return $user;
         }
     }
}

horde/config/prefs.php:

$_prefs['from_addr'] = array(
     'value' => '',
     'locked' => true,
     'shared' => true,
     'type' => 'text',
     'hook' => 'true',
     'desc' =>  _("Your From: address:")
);
