Just stop rflinkserver, push ctrl-c. Restart when finished.

Yes and no. If you have set it to scan then the answer is yes, if not
then no. I use memories to hold my scanned channels, the memories hold
the mode, split etc. What radio is it? How much is stored in a memory?
All I have to reset after using the radio is the volume (icom 706mk2g).

PSK125 or the mode you set in the scan. Normally PSK125. The beacon is
not mandatory, just shut it off if you do not want it. There is a
setting in pskmailrc.pl that controls it.

I would recommend a legal frequency :-)
Check the server page on the wiki (pskmailservers) where currently used
frequencies are listed. There has been some coordination on 30 meters.

Not in pskmail at the moment. I guess you can take care of that in
postfix, you can at least set it up to bcc someone and monitor what is
going on.
