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?
