understood... and i can't help with that other than to suggest that maybe
there is a rescan semaphore file that you might touch to tell IREX to scan for
new outbound mail...

but then i also know that you are a downlink of mine and if this is concerning
fidonet message traffic, i feel that i should point out that you can send to
my system any time you like... at least the mail is off your system and you
can feel better that it is on its way... however, my system will sit on that
mail with all the rest it receives and process it on schedule instead of as
soon as it arrives... i had to do this for some other downlinks who have very
iffy connections and who cannot always pull the dozens of PKTs or bundles that
await... it was the best of both worlds to go to a set schedule for mail
processing... especially since it is all too easy to process more than 36
times a day which then results in bundles of the same name as already created
and possibly delivered... 

so the best time to deliver mail is any time before the scheduled processing
but picking up mail is best polled for after that processing has taken place...

for more/updated details, netmail is just a click away ;) ;) ;)
