Are you using vm?  It might vm's news mail checking code.  I think by
default it goes out and checks for new mail every 5 min.  It's supposed to
stop after it detects new mail, which is what I see.  But the repeated
checks can be a pain in the butt when there is no new mail & you're on the
wrong end of a slow modem. :)

try this:

(setq vm-mail-check-interval 900) ;; check every 15 min now

or 

(setq vm-mail-check-interval nil) ;; don't check
