While I agree with your expectation, the Horde_Alarm system, which is  
responsible for sending those emails, currently only accepts a single  
email address, which is used as both the From and the To. The optional  
email address in Kronolith is used as that email address if it is  
provided.


Feel free to create an enhancement request for this, or maybe better  
yet, a more complete integration of the identity system into Kronolith  
so you can select an explicit identity for these notifications.
