Ah, yes. This is why I've always tried to get people to use the "fidopoll send" 
command, rather than "fidopoll forced". When using "forced", Mystic's mailer 
will poll every single link that was enabled, and always seemed to cause 
problems (with me being the other end, anyways). Using "send" would only 
connect to the links you actually had mail waiting to send to. Usually 
switching to the "send" method fixed whatever issues myself and said link were 
having.

At that point they're only collecting AKAs. I guarantee you they do not spend 
much of any time actually participating in any or all of those networks. I have 
seen this a few times in the past as well, and have chosen not to link with a 
couple certain individuals because of it.

Regards,
Nick
