But I still need to know if this is the default on Kolab 2.1 or if I created 
this "mail=kolab" by some mistake, maybe due to some misconfiguration in the 
former version. Can you please tell me which would be the correct name for 
this distribution list? Maybe just "kolab at ..."?

So if I want to use different senders inside my network I should not 
authenticate, is that correct? Just put my networks on $my_networks?
