Could it be because sendmail has already started trying to deliver it, while the node is off-line, and therefore the mail is busy, or because it has already been tried to be delivered a few minutes ago, and therefore sendmail won't deliver it so soon? Should (and can) I persuade sendmail to never try to deliver to nodes doing ETRN before they ask for it? Or only try to deliver once, and then just queue the mail for pickup?
