Well, I don't know if there are any Problems with ETRN && Exchange-
Server.

Does the client always have this ip "bsmtp.thenet.co.nz" ? Because only
to this host the server announces ETRN.

What does your logs say when the client tries to ETRN the maildomain ? I
had a similar problem and posted a small addition to C037 yesterday.

Hm, maybe you should test your setup while changing the "mv blabla" in
the etrn-script to "cp blabla". Then the mail is not wiped at
script-start. After that try to run this on the server:
su <user-which-exim-runs-under> -c "/etc/exim/etrn_script $domain"
and take a look at the error-messages (if there are some), this pointed
some errors out in my setup. exim does not log those script-errors after
launching the script.
