   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.

   Tim
