2.1.8  Exclusivity of Zone Mail Hour

Zone Mail Hour is the heart of FidoNet, as this is when network mail is passed
between systems.  Any system which wishes to be a part of FidoNet must be able
to receive mail during this time using the protocol defined in the current
FidoNet Technical Standards Committee publication (FTS-0001 at this writing). 
It is permissible to have greater capability (for example, to support
additional protocols or extended mail hours), but the minimum requirement is
FTS-0001 capability during this one hour of the day.

This time is exclusively reserved for netmail.  Many phone systems charge on a
per-call basis, regardless of whether a connect, no connect, or busy signal is
encountered.  For this reason, any activity other than normal network mail
processing that ties up a system during ZMH is considered annoying behavior.
Echomail should not be transferred during ZMH.  User (BBS) access to a system
is prohibited during ZMH.

A system which is a member of a local network may also be required to observe
additional mail events, as defined by the Network Coordinator.  Access
restrictions during local network periods are left to the discretion of the
Network Coordinator.
