I am not sure where the documentation for these settings are at.  Where are the instructions for this?

Here is what I have:

>From Imp conf.php
$conf['maillog']['driver'] = 'history';


>From Horde conf.php
$conf['auth']['params']['app'] = 'imp';
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'application';
$conf['auth']['params']['count_bad_logins'] = true;
$conf['auth']['params']['login_block'] = true;
$conf['auth']['params']['login_block_count'] = 5;
$conf['auth']['params']['login_block_time'] = 5;
$conf['signup']['allow'] = false;
