Ok, at least I understood this bit correctly.

That's right, I have it off. I tried enabling it, but that
resulted in noone 
being able to send mails to our distribution lists anymore -
they all bounced 
with error messages like

<NAMEOUR.DOMAIN>: service unavailable. Command output:
Invalid From: header.
    SENDER NAME <SENDERNAMEOUR.DOMAIN> does not
match
    envelope owner-LISTOUR.DOMAIN

Alternatively, I'd get "nobodyOUR.DOMAIN" instead
of "owner-LIST". I have the 
sneaking suspicion that this is due to our dual-mailserver
set-up - we still 
have an old SLOX server running in parallel as we still
haven't migrated all 
our users to the Kolab server. Unless you happen to have an
idea as to why 
this would not work, I'll focus on getting rid of the SLOX
server first 
before tackling this type of problems again... :-(

Cheerio,

Thomas
