 JK> "Only" ... on the hour.

hehe... well, those who poll my system without delivering anything are
wasting time since there is no mail processed except at specific times of
the day... if they are delivering mail, that's another thing altogether and
not a problem at all...

 JK> Polling a downlink 24 times a day is already asking a lot!  

not really... not in this day and time of fully connected 24x7 internet...
my main feed drops off mail here sometimes several times in 5 minutes...
his system is set to deliver as soon as it is ready... 1 message or 100...
it doesn't matter...

there used to be a system that polled here looking for mail (nothing being
delivered at all) every 5 or 10 minutes... i noticed that because my logs
seems rather large and a quick perusal showed what was happening... so i
let them know and now, with even more connections and mail flowing, the
logs are smaller in size ;)
