By 'direct posting' I thought about, that the spammer is not logged on
to the HORDE webpage using a webbrowser.
I was thinking, that he uses some tool, which call
/horde/imp/compose.php....
In the webserver log I do have about 1.600 POST messages from that IP
... and checking some message IDs in the mailserverlog shows that there
are 100 or 200 recepiens.
And I don't think, that a spammer is sitting in Front of his webbrowser
entering such an amount of e-mail addresses.

Thats a good point, I'll try to look that up.
