my sincerest appologies if you detected anger in what I wrote. None was intented. I simply was asking if that was not sufficient - because I didn't know if you were aware of that feature.
I have actually wondered why they bothered with the add extension bit in the install. It seems like it makes more sense to just add extensions in the web interface - because it isn't like you aren't going to have to go there and do things as you suggsted... you'll still have to configure outbound rules, setup providers and/or gateways, etc...
