We run SUNOS and connect to Demon over 14.4 Modem.  In our office we use POP
for the PCs and sendmail forthe other UNIX boxes.  What I'd like to know, is
how Demon get the waiting mail to be sent to me after I attach?  Is it all in
the /usr/spool/mqueue area and somehow my login causes a queue run to be
forced?  How is that achieved when the login is on a router box?  The reason I
want to know is I would like to connect a couple of home users (UNIX) to the
system and I seem to have to run the sendmail queue really frequently to get
anything working.  Surely Demon can't do this?
