    As replied in netmail this is because your system is polling without allowing my system to realise you system has left the building - allow minimum of 10 minutes or more between polls.

    I cannotcontrol the time gaps when it should give up :(


    I would get through, and BBBS would start sending mail then it timed out and went into this spiral. After an hour or so, it would try again, send the same 4 packets and it would stop receiving again.

    Absolutely no idea BUT my system has been up for 45 days and I have had 2 kernel updates since so I am overdue for a reboot.

    I will try and do this later to day.

    Murphy was up to his tricks again, I think. Seems to be ok now so will watch it
