exactly... your statement of "if you want to get mail from your system to mine,
you have to come bring it yourself" is incorrect... i simply pointed that out
to you...

ok, so i agree and we set up the connection... what's to stop me from
defaulting to hold and just letting you pick it up when you deliver the next
round? that's how your statement, even with a CM/CY agreement, is wrong...
