You certainly omit the smtpd_sender_restrictions provided in
/etc/postfix/main.cf. Then again Horde should be configured so that it
only allows authenticated users into the system. 

So it depends on how much you trust your horde configuration :)

Maybe I'll find the reason for the failure to configure Horde to use
smtp. I'll update the wiki then.

Cheers,

Gunnar
