A vanilla implementation of ETRN will only trigger the delivery of the mail. It then consults DNS to see where is is delivered. Maybe they've improved the implementation in Exchange or Notes (or sendmail, for that matter) recently, but in the past a static IP was required because sendmail would automatically query DNS to find the highest preference MX server. --Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
