Thinking on it more...

I have not used permissions to set preferences for different groups.  I 
comment out the preferences I do not want used.  I can then uncomment 
and set them for individual users - you can probably do the same using 
permissions - which would allow the adding of additional from addresses 
(I do not have much experience using LDAP with Horde+IMP though).
