My polling and tossing are also run in the background. The only reason I
noticed was that I run the inbound packets through a sorting program and it
detected the grunged messages (although it hung instead of reporting an
error like it supposed to, so I guess I should thank Paul for finding a bug
in my code). It was pretty obvious that something was wrong when there was
no mail at all!

Yeah, but it looks like he's gone back to Squish, so hopefully it won't
happen again (at least not too often).
