Aaww crap. Silly policies. Apparently somebody at Nokia HQ hasn't noticed that the N900 is not a tablet.
IIRC there should be some option to choose which applications are allowed to initiate a connection and which are not.
And if I understood this correct, this means that fMMS is stretching/breaking the policies since it connects completely on it's own?

I wonder why you didn't design the device and OS because it seems that you know everything best.
N900 is meant to be online 24/7. Why bother being without connection in case you might need it? App manager polls about once in 24 hours, and it could be any time between 00 and 23:59.
atleast I have jabber on always when not in offline mode (and it is the point of this device to me) so this doesn't matter to me at all. in other words: it isn't an issue. please keep in mind that in real world outside iGay there can be multiple ways to do different things. No one is better to another by default.
If you choose "Connect Automatically" it will try to connect periodically whether or not any application needs connectivity at the time.
Non-interactive applications (e.g. Application Manager updates or background mail checks) are not allowed to create a new connection. They are only allowed to use a connection which is already established.
Interactive applications can create a connection in response to a user action (this includes asking you to choose a connection if you've set it to "Always Ask"). For example loading a web page, sending an IM or clicking 'Send & Receive" from your email client.
This bug report has some useful info.
