    Yeah, that was what I was suspecting. I even tried to do a mis poll towards 
Bjorn's system, but it did not deliver the netmail since it was routed towards 
4:80/1 by default.

    Yeah, I did go through the docs and the process is pretty smart actually. 

    However there is no provision for the crash logic.

    Thanks! Will do that.
