Looking at the        MF> logfile for the session, I note that a "non-secure" session was        MF> established. Hmmmmm, I don't see the point in polling an "Inactive"        MF> uplink, perhaps I'm missing something?              Jup.              You poll a system, not an uplink. A system is just a BBS you can call. So when       the uplink is disabled, no mail is exported for the uplink (among other       things) and when you poll the system respective AKA for that particular uplink       is not presented and no mail is sent. That is the intended behaviour. So       enssentially disabling an uplink is meant to stop WinPoint from sending an       mail using that network address.              Regards,       Tim              --- WinPoint 412.0        * Origin: Original WinPoint Origin!
