ETRN Download

Short for Extended Turn, ETRN is an extension to the SMTP mail delivery protocol that allows an SMTP server to request from another SMTP server any email messages it has for a specific domain. ETRN is typically used by a mail server that does not have a dedicated connection to the Internet.

The ETRN download node lets you to define ETRN or ATRN (Authenticated TURN) client requests to remote mail servers, allowing you to have IceWarp Server pick up messages held on other servers.

Multiple downloads can be defined and message collection(s) can be scheduled.
