I use a slightly different approach here, all my mail is handled (IE
scanned and packed) for HOLD. At an appropriate SQUISH event, anything that
needs to go via the PSTN gets changed by Squish to either NORMAL or CRASH
as required. 
Mail for my IP nodes is left as HOLD. As I run under OS/2, my background
mail processing task (it checks for work every 1 minute) runs a REXX script
that checks my outbound areas and if it finds any traffic for any IP node
mentioned in my BinkD control file, it then automatically generates a BinkD
.ILO file and that triggers BinkD to make an IP connection to deliver that
mail. It works great.

Cheers...............pk.
