Hi Randy, 'stuur' is dutch for 'send'. It is indeed a script.
After sending out the mailq through postfix, 'stuur' invokes a script called cmail (see mail) which runs getmail (I prefer that to fetchmail). I don't use any automatic polling program. I handle that through cron. cmail adds a few lines to my procmail.log file so I can see what has been happening (the mailserver of my provider seems to lose mail these days). This is how I found out that cron runs stuur every 2 minutes also during the night. I doubt that the problem could be that I use 00, 04 and 05 instead of 0, 4 and 5 in the time descriptors??? E.g. 00-58/2 05-23 * * * $HOME/bin/stuur 1>/dev/null instead of 0-58/2 5-23 * * * $HOME/bin/stuur 1>/dev/null Paul --- This quote is malfunctioning.

(I'm not familiar with the stuur command -- is that a script or command that you wrote?) Anyway, is there any chance you are checking with something like fetchmail and it is running in a polling mode?
