Good to know it's possible! So how is this done? I'm deducing that I 
accomplish this by modifying DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and/or DEFAULT_URL_HOST? If 
so, where do I find those values exactly?

Is it possible to make these two variables editable via the GUI, or can they 
only be modified via some setting file on the server?
