The new release includes both Mail->News gatewaying and News->Mail gatewaying. The latter uses a polling strategy. If you have direct access to your nntp server, it would be possible not to have to poll. In fact, it would be fairly easy. Unfortunately, I don't have that sort of access available. If anyone is interested in getting non-polling gatewaying working, please contact me, I'm interested in writing the necessary code, I just need someone who can test it, etc.
