(PM) Filtering Mail Pings

Has anyone figured out how to filter out the pings from mail clients. We
have at terrible situation here where our dialups are basically putting
themselves on life support (connection to Internet) once they dialup.
Seriously we have login that last 23 hrs until we disconnect them. They are
using their mail client to check their mail every x minutes. We have played
with the idletimer over and over, but no luck. So we would like to see if
we can filter the call to the mail server port, and NOT have it reset the
idle timer.

Any ideas, if you already don this can you share the feat ! We are running
PM3s with 3.72 on WinNT boxes.

Thank you in advance.
