IIRC, startmail is kicked off on a dialup link as soon as the link is
established, to reduce mail fetching latency. It also runs as the periodic
cron job, so if the link is brought up by fetchmail, there will be a
second concurrent attempt to run fetchmail.
You can disable the link-up fetchmail job by doing:
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop fetchmail NoIPUP yes

If you have enough mail to keep the link busy for longer than the email
fetching interval then you will be trying to start a second job when the
first is running, so you will see that message.
