    DH> route-to 1:138/0.0 1:138/*

    DH> route-to 1:343/3.0 1:343/*   
    DH> Hold 1:153/7041   
      
   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.    
      
    DH> =============   
    DH> And event manager for A says   
    DH> all days, 00:00-24:00, run every 12:00 -fs 1:153/7041   
      
   So you're polling every 12 hours. rather a long stretch between mail runs. :)    
   But it looks good...   
      
    DH> Does that seem right?  Thanks!
