I´m sorry I was not specific. The scneraio I´m thinking is a very small 
organization (5 users) using Horde. This organization uses google apps 
for email. Google apps does not allow you to setup a single SMTP server 
account for all the users or, better saying, it allows you to do so, but 
then every email sent through the SMTP will have as sender the account 
you used to login to the gmail SMTP, regardless of the user that has 
actually sent the email.

So, in order to actually use the recommended approach (STMP instead of 
sendmail), I have to do a workaround: I set sendmail in Horde 
Configuration (mailer) and then configure a postfix server with "per 
sender relay", and then I have to configure in postfix a file with all 
users credentials necessary to access and send mail via gmail SMTP. This 
way, Horde uses postfix, but postfix actually uses the SMTP server as a 
relay server and mail is sent with no trouble at all.

But it is a really dirty solution, since I have to put in this postfix 
file (sasl_passwd) all the emails and respective passwords necessary to 
access the gmail SMTP.

So I was thinking if it would be acceptable to suggest the 
implementation of a "per user mailer" in imp, so each user gets to set 
his own SMTP server and then it will be his problem whether or not he 
has changed his password etc. He could always update his credentials 
without contacting the admin.
