Your SMTP server should run all the time you are conected to Demon and
be available as soon as possible after connection is established
(preferably before).

The Demon SMTP client will connect to you as soon as your link is
established (assuming you have outstanding mail) and at regular
intervals suring the session (again assuming there is mail to
deliver).

Your SMTP client (I presume you are writing a two way system) only
needs to run when there is mail to be sent, the Demon server is always
(fault etc. permitting) running, as are other mail receiving hosts.
