Or use ESR's fetchmail, the swiss army knife for getting mail to your
server.  Example /etc/sendmail.conf for ETRN use that will do an ETRN on
the remote server every 10 minutes:

--- cut here ---
set daemon 600
set syslog

poll remote.mailserver.example with proto ETRN
        fetchdomains localdomain.example
--- cut here ---

If the remote mail server only allows ETRN from authenticated users, see
the man page for details on how to set up authentication.
