ETRN <messaging, protocol> ("Extended {TURN}") An {ESMTP} command (first defined in {RFC 1985}) with which a {client} asks the {server} to deliver queued mail to the client via a new ESMTP connection. ETRN supersedes the {SMTP} "TURN" command in the same way that ESMTP's "{EHLO}" supersedes SMTP's "{HELO}". (1997-11-21)
