different one, the SENDMAIL ActiveSync command is fairly straight forward
and doesn't differ for different clients. Essentially we do some sanity
checks and (at least for new mails, not replies) just sent the email
through Horde's configured SMTP mailer.  I'd probably need a detailed
ActiveSync log of the SENDMAIL command from the iOS device to see what it
is sending to rule out (or fix) anything in our code.

Just the normal ActiveSync log, or do I have to increase the debug level?

Actually, I found something.

On the same server, I have the MTA, production horde, and separately horde
installed from git.

The Android was actually using the production horde.

When I changed the iOS device from git to production, it works.

When I changed the android to point to the git install, it doesn't.

I suspect something has (or more accurately should have) changed in

Anything I should look for specifically?  I usually end up breaking
something in there..
