   Ah well, there ya go :)   
      
   The way it works is, that instead of polling the BossNode for mail, OpenXP     
   creates a mail packet/bundle in whatever directory has been assigned as     
   the "outbound". It's then up to the Node to transfer the mail packet/    
   bundle to their secure inbound in their mailer setup and then run their     
   tosser to pack mail for uplinks/downlinks.   
      
   Regards,
