Problems:

1. They would not be forwarded as they arrived but accumulated for the
next run of the cron job.  If someone pages ZC's friend in the dead of
night, it might be an emergency that can't wait for the next run of the
cron job.

2. The routine to save the messages to a folder would still need to know
the time of day, because messages that arrive during work hours would not
need to be spooled for the cron job that sends them to the pager.
