understood... and i can't help with that other than to suggest that maybe
there is a rescan semaphore file that you might touch to tell IREX to scan
for new outbound mail...

but then i also know that you are a downlink of mine and if this is
concerning fidonet message traffic, i feel that i should point out that you
can send to my system any time you like... at least the mail is off your
system and you can feel better that it is on its way... however, my system
will sit on that mail with all the rest it receives and process it on
schedule instead of as soon as it arrives... i had to do this for some
other downlinks who have very iffy connections and who cannot always pull
the dozens of PKTs or bundles that await... it was the best of both worlds
to go to a set schedule for mail processing... especially since it is all
too easy to process more than 36 times a day which then results in bundles
of the same name as already created and possibly delivered... 

so the best time to deliver mail is any time before the scheduled
processing but picking up mail is best polled for after that processing has
taken place...

for more/updated details, netmail is just a click away ;) ;) ;)
