Sure, this is for the special case of using AutoMX + z-push.

Z-Push is a free ActiveSync implementation that uses IMAP/SMTP, CalDAV 
and LDAP to "simulate" a level of Exchange server functionality [1], 
namely mail, calendars, tasks and contacts.

In order for this to work under iOS, the end-user has to choose 
"Exchange" as the type of account, and from there everything "just 
works" with my php script. Would be great if this could be included in 
AutoMX.

If there is an additional way to use autodiscover for mobile devices 
*without* active sync, that would also be nice. However, when I add an 
email account of type "Other" in iOS, the autodiscover server is not 
even consulted. Do you know how/where what it does when it says "Looking 
up account"?

The server specified in the DNS/SRV entry for autodiscover it consults 
not...

Best regards, Achim
