Server is online all the time, DSL is sketchy. The primary MX is set to my
firewall. However, if the DSL service is down or I reboot the router, mail
will not be delivered. In the past, I had the ISP deliver the mail to my
primary MX when it is avail. If it is not avail, it is delivered to the
second record in the MX record - my ISP. In turn, I pull the mail using the
POP connector. This only happens in rare occasions but it provides for
failover if the circuit is dead.
My plan is to continue with the SMTP config but would like to configure ETRN
as the backup rather than deal with the shortcomings of the POP connector.
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean here - the way I get it..smtp mail incoming to your
domain will queue at your service provider until it receives a signal from
your mail server to pump all the mail for yourdomain.com to your exchange
machine (after establishing dialup or whatever) - in this case then the etrn
setup will work fine.
If this is not the case can you describe your setup a little better.
Cheers
Simon

Already read this - no new information. SMTP mail is the primary, ETRN is
the secondary.

Hi Steve - sorry for the way this reads, but I cut n pasted it out of 2
previous posts. It should help you with your issue.
I have had a similar situation where I used a util called etrn which polls
the store and forward server for you - I just put this into a batch file
which did the dialup and then ran this - you give it a host and port to
connect to and shibang it goes off and gets it. After looking there is an MS
solution aswell, but the above is wonderfully simple.
The MS solution is under
http://support.microsoft.com/support/exchange/content/whitepapers/dialupims.
asp
This was a while ago before we got an all singing all dancing T1 connection
installed and we had to rely on isdn which I used for the mail retrieval. -
it went something like this (from very rusty memory do forgive mistakes)
Rasdial (connection you want)
Wait ( this is another util that is useful for pausing the batch file so
that it has time to make the link) etrn /address=mail.myisp.net /port=SMTP
/ehlo=mail.mydomain.co.uk /etrn="@mydomain.co.uk, @mynextdomain.com" /auto
/min
Then disconnect the ras connection and you should be in business
/address=<mail server> Address of mail server to send ETRN command to
/port=<port> Port to send command to. Usually SMTP (25)
/ehlo=<domain> EHLO command argument (identification domain)
/etrn=<domain list> ETRN command argument (domains to run queue for)
/auto If specified, run ETRN when etrn.exe started
/min If specified, run etrn.exe in a minimized window
You can download etrn here http://www.magpage.com/magpage/helpdesk/etrn.exe
Hope this is what you are looking for.
Cheers
Simon

After being PUMMELED this week over the POP connector stuff, I have finally
pushed my ISP into moving my email to a server that will handle ETRN. So,
here's the new question. What is the exact recommended process to configure
an NT 4.0 sp6a, Exchange 5.5 SP4+ server with ETRN as the 2nd mail pull. In
other words, mail is currently being sent to mail.domain.com via SMTP, do
you have set up a scheduler to pull the mail or how does it work.
Details would be appreciated.
