Ah well, there ya go :)

The way it works is, that instead of polling the BossNode for mail, OpenXP  
creates a mail packet/bundle in whatever directory has been assigned as  
the "outbound". It's then up to the Node to transfer the mail packet/ 
bundle to their secure inbound in their mailer setup and then run their  
tosser to pack mail for uplinks/downlinks.

Regards,
Martin
