    1. That there's no undue delays in polling (not gusranteed when running IPv4 and IPv6)

    Fair enough, the internet isn't perfect.

    Indeed. :)

    2. That tossing happens immediately after polling (I'm not sure how
    often Mystic checks).

    I call the tosser manually after the fidopoll exits.

    That saves another uncertainty. Good. :)

    I'll space them another minute out, I don't know how many networks I'll end up connecting to but every 2 minutes would limit me to 30 polls per hour. I guess when/if I reach 30 I would have to start running odd/even hours.

    I doubt you'll reach 30. :)

    It's not just fidopoll, it could be mutil tossing the previous batch mail that gums up the works too. :)

    I found the semaphore events works well, but a good way to configure them is like:

    (echomail.out|netmail.out|newsmail.out)!fidopoll.bsy

    Same thing for inbound, but use mutil.bsy at the end.

    That way, when semaphores are found but fidopoll or mutil is running, it will not delete the semaphores and run then fidopoll or mutil when it's done.

    Also, I do not run the import after fidopoll, if there is new messages received, the semaphore will get created and the semaphore event will pick
    them up, no need to forcefully run mutil.

    Cheers!

    What I did here, is set up a script to run my fidopolls. Every hour it'll run it and poll each of them.

    #!/bin/sh
    ./fidopoll 21:1/100
    ./fidopoll 3:770/1
    etc...

    Then I have it set to toss all the mail at once when it's done.
