Quoth Michael L. VanLoon on Fri, 23 August:
: They probably just want you to run sendmail with a frequent retry.
: They could connect to you, dumping mail out, and your sendmail daemon
: should retry often enough to see that they are there and start dumping
: mail back to them.

Why not just write a tiny little inetd service to run
sendmail -q when you get a packet from their server?
A 5 minute perl hack.  The corresponding NT client
can also be a 5 minute perl hack.
