-> BG> hub only picks up and delivers on the hour.

 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...

-> but then i also know that you are a downlink of mine

 :)

 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 ;)
