[sork] Information Needed...

Doesn't matter, as long as you can reach the needed servers.  You might
change passwords via poppassd, ssh, yppasswd, etc.  You might setup the
.forward file via ftp, etc.  They don't have to be on the same machine,
but the Horde/IMP machine will need to be able to connect and update the
machine where the tools live/run.

Mine setup is similar...  This is not really relevent.

How ever you configure it to, based on your setup.  Maybe you need
to read the sork documentation to find out how they work?

I'm not going to say it is possible, because your network folks may
outlaw all the protocols we support (poppassd, ftp, etc) or you may not
have the needed software available for other methods (ssh, expect, etc).
But, these are policy issues, and are not as such a sork issue.
