Maybe a simple answer to this problem would be a seperate exe (decutil.exe(?)) that you could call via the command line (or perl/php/etc/etc) to edit the config files. Something that worked along the lines of: decutil.exe [mail_account][action][data], or for example decutil.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED] whitelist [EMAIL PROTECTED] This would: - Allow the ambitious coders to still just manipulate the text files directly. - not fatten/clutter/affect the declude.exe file - give a common interface that would not change as often - so that changes to file structure of the text config files would not require major rewriting of the web/email/whatever end user app. If major changes happened to declude.exe, a new version of decutil.exe follows with it. - allow admins to use any facility they wanted - IIS/PHP/Program Alias/Perl/Whatever they want. If we had at least that, I think there are several of us who could quickly put the rest together. It takes the most time consuming part of the coding - manipulating text files, file locking issues, etc. out of the equation of putting something together.
