At my previous employer, we had a situation where ETRN was used to send queued e-mail to on-demand customers, i.e., dial-up, but the problem with this is that it required statically assigned IP addresses. This was a management nightmare. So we switched to ODMR (On Demand Mail Relay), which will queue e-mail and deliver it on-demand to dynamically assigned IP addresses. It works quite beautifully, actually, just that this needs to be installed at the ISP end. ODMR is great because it's based on ATRN, which supports customer authentication, unlike ETRN. Look here for the code: http://plonk.de/sw/odmr/ Cheers, Mark.
