We are getting back around to this.
Nice patch however it seems you can have only one mail configuration per 
installation of Ledgersmb if you store the data in Sysconfig.pm. 

When hosting more than one business on a server is it typical to have a 
different domain or folder for each business? Thus a different install of 
Ledgersmb for each business? I wonder is this what ledger123 does?

What about configuring email per business in the defaults table?
That way there is only one installation of Ledgersmb to maintain.
