If you call ifcico without explicitly stating -r1 on the command line,
ifcico
will not scan for out going packets. ifmail comes with a script called
ifpoll
that can used to poll other systems. The script can be started without
any
parameters and then it automaticlly calls the node listed in the script,
or you
can start it with the nodes address you want it to call (ifpoll
z33.n125.z1).
Of course one has to adjust the script to reflect their own systems
needs.
