The answer to Q0521 on the exim-FAQ includes this snippet:

Does anyone know of 'some completely different program', that would
make an SMTP connection to a specified host and 'shovel waiting mail
[sic]' from one of these formats down it? Preferrably a small
standalone utility, as opposed to a piece of some large package..

I'm currently providing ETRN service to one client, not too much
traffic, and its not really a problem, but this sounds like a much more
elegant way.
