I am assuming 1:138/0 is your hub?  If so and you want to cover all 4 of Fido's
zones for netmail, then try this:

route-to 1:138/0 1* 2* 3* 4*
except 1:342/*
route-to 1:342/0.0 1:342/*
except 1:343/*
route-to 1:343/3.0 1:343/*
HOLD 1:153/7041

 DH> EVENT A
 DH> Unhold 1:153/7041

You really don't need the above hold/unhold as it will stay in your outbound
till the event A is run. The -fs stands for fetch and send.  IF that node were
to connect to you, then it would go.  If you don't want the other node the
ability to pick up mail then use the hold/unhold option

 DH> EVENT B
 DH> hold 1:153/7041

Again, if you want to keep the node from retrieving their own mail then leave
this in. Just make sure event B runs right after A is finished.

So you're polling every 12 hours. rather a long stretch between mail runs. :) 
But it looks good...

 DH> Does that seem right?  Thanks!
