My point exactly,
Mail box numbers are business information

o would I, but here's the situation: we have a 'mailbox ID' that is
generally random (doesn't matter, as long as it's unique). Some
organizations, however, want to specifically set this ID at some point
(to phone numbers, personnel ID, what-have-you), and this change may
have to happen on a database that is already deployed.
