You could return this as a dictionary:

     info = { 'server' : server
            , 'email' : email
            ...
            }
     return info

In ZPT you can display the values from the dictionary:

     <table tal:define="info here/myscript">
       <tr>
         <td>Server:</td>
         <td tal:content="info/server"/>
       </tr>
       <tr>
         <td>E-Mail:</td>
         <td tal:content="info/email"/>
       </tr>
       ...
     </table>
