I know a few years ago it was pretty common for people with on-demand
connections to have their ISP spool mail for their domain, then when they
connected they would issue an ETRN command to the ISP's server to initiate
spooling.  I don't know how common this is any more, but it does make
sense for a large organization with an on-demand connection to run a local
MTA and IMAP server, and still have their ISP spool.
