When Exim receives an ETRN command which passes the ACL, then it invokes
"smtp_etrn_command". This needs to be an external command which you
provide.

If you use:
smtp_etrn_command = /path/to/etrn_handler $sender_host_address
then your etrn_handler program can look $sender_host_address up and
provide secure delivery. You can use all of Exim's lookup logic to
provide whatever extra parameters you want.

Your etrn_handler will probably invoke Exim to perform the deliveries;
section 44.11 of The Exim Specification is helpful here.

Even better: there's a cookbook example of handling this. If you get
config.samples.tar.bz2 (or .gz) from one of the Exim file mirrors (in
the same directory as Exim's source tarballs) and look at C037, then
you'll see a fully working set-up, with explanation and notes on
assumptions, provided by "Dave C." in 2000 (and later converted to Exim4
syntax by Philip Hazel).
