The 3.3 Box is a local server on a disconnected LAN talking to a "remote" server that spools mail, which is grabbed by fetchmail. We are running PPP on-demand to the external server via a dial-up to an ISP. However, PPP only holds the line up from 8am-8pm and this is happening at 1:59am, coinciding with the "periodic daily" scripts from crontab.
