Not without names that resolve. You say ETRN myhostname, but the server thinks you want to spool waiting mail for myhostname. It looks up myhostname's IP, and starts delivering. If you have a dynamic IP, that won't work because there's no way to let the mailserver's DNS know your IP without the usual hours to days delay of DNS updates. ETRN is for fixed IP's. -- Ruben -- Eat more memory!
