Well, I don't know what a mailertable is, but there are things
you can do with ETRN. First, say the following in your exim
config file main section:
smtp_etrn_command = /usr/local/libexec/etrn_script $domain
See the "spec" documentation file for details. You may also want
to set smtp_etrn_hosts, smtp_etrn_serialize, and friends.
Then, set up another version of exim to be run from etrn_script,
which will have a different config file with a domainlist router.
Or, you may have a domainlist router in your main config file,
with long delays for the intermittently connected hosts
(optional), which will forward the messages to the correct host,
and have that host do "ETRN #domain.com" (not another version of
ETRN), which will trigger exim to deliver messages with
undelivered address containing the string "domain.com".
For more info, see the following chapters in spec:
27. The domainlist router
39. Intermittently connected hosts
43.4 The ETRN command

The art in this case was probably pottery.
