Nope. Just the info about the accunt such as ID, name and password... There
are 9 fields I belive...

Yes but you would have to rework the dll yourself. iMail just started to
support SQL and like I said we are having some problems with it...
Hopefully they will be worked out soon though. :-)

We are planning to have 1000 domains on one server by the end of the
year... So I�m counting on that that should be no problem which Ipswitch
says it will not be... Time will tell. Our first 50 has not been very
smooth I must say... We are rebooting like never before. :-)
