Hi All,
I'm running Sendmail 8.9.3 on FreeBSD. I have a customer who wishes to
retrieve his E-mail via ETRN. I know this is supposed to be simple but this
has been a real pain to get it to work, I've spent a couple of very
frustrated weeks on this.
My customer has a domain: oregansinc.com. I have assigned it a static IP
from our class C. The web server for this domain resides on a Win NT box on
our lan. MX records for this domain point to jellico.net (my FreeBSD box).
E-mail intended for oregansinc.com was bouncing immediately, with one of two
error messages: User unknown, and relaying denied (in spite of the fact that
the domain is listed in /etc/mail/relay-domains).
I have fixed this problem, Sendmail is now queueing mail intended for
oregansinc.com in the mail queue (I see it when I issue the mailq command).
Unfortunately, people sending mail to this domain are now getting a return
E-mail that states:

Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
Will keep trying until message is 5 days old
This is NOT what I want to happen. I want the mail to be queued until my
customer chooses to retrieve it via ETRN, which may be more than 5 days.
Also I don't want everyone who sends E-mail to this domain to recieve this
message. How can I prevent this from happening with E-mail intended for this
domain but still have other messages in my mail queue handled normally (i.e.
bounced after 5 days if they remain undeliverable)??
Thanks,
