 * Hi,
 * I setup custom postie config every time new blog is created in MU.
    All config
   get´s updated however postie does not start until I go to menu and click “save
   settings”. From that time postie works.
 * Is there any parameter that needs to be called to set this up?
 * Thanks
    Regards Pawel

 * How do you do this without going to Settings -> Postie

 * $newconfig = ms_postie_GetDefaults();
    $newconfig[interval] = ‘fiveminutes’; 
   and other parameters… update_option(‘postie-settings’, $newconfig);
 * and it works (can see all config in settings->postie, however need to press save
   in the settings in order postie to start working

 * I’m not really sure. WordPress handles all the saving, Postie doesn’t do anything
   special.
 * I assume you are going through the activation process as well to register with
   the cron.
