Looking at /opt/zendto/lib really helped. It does use sAMAUserAccount 
and that led me to recheck my config. I had a typo in the bind address 
in the 1st AD and my test account didn't work on the 2nd AD as in the 
wrong tree so would never work.

All working now using the template in preferences.php

Thanks, John.
