Our mailserver is secondary MX for several dialin-nodes, which pick up
their mail by ETRN

Sometimes when a dialin node wants to receive its mail and issues an ETRN,
it doesn't receive it.

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?
