Hi Dave,
i put my user/domain infos in a DB to be able to upload/download
configuration to xmail servers it is an extension of the Xmail
Administrator and the DB is connectable via ODBC it is writen in VB and i

for the moment it is only for testing but if it is solid enough
you can get it, it's freeware
