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.

Regards,
Tim
