  Postfix ETRN Howto
ETRN service is no longer available for domains that aren't configured for the service.
These attempts are separated in time by increasing time intervals, ranging from $minimal_backoff_time to $maximal_backoff_time, and should not be a problem unless a lot of mail is queued.
By default, "fast ETRN" service is enabled for all domains that match $relay_domains.

 ETRN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ETRN (Extended Turn) is an extension to the SMTP e-mail protocol.
Some level of security is provided by DNS-based authentication of the initiating server.
The ETRN operation is useful for intermittently connected mail servers.

 Zvon - RFC 1985 [SMTP Service Extension for Remote Message Queue Starting] - The extended ETRN command
The extended ETRN command is issued by the client host when it wishes to start the SMTP queue processing of a given server host.
The syntax of this command is as follows: ETRN [
When the server host receives the ETRN command, it should have a look at the node name that is specified in the command and make a local decision if it should honour the request.

 ETRN Tab
ETRN defines a method of queueing mail for a mail server which does not have a permanent connection to the Internet.
ETRN is similar to the smart POP collection that i-Mail does, except is is a 'push' mechanism where the ISP is in control if the mail sending, where with POP collect i-Mail controls the downloads.
The ETRN activators are scheduled by the inbound scheduler on the Scheduling tab.

 The Danger of ETRN
The extended SMTP command ETRN as described in RFC1985 and implemented in Exchange Server 5.0 beginning with Service Pack 1, is an attempt to address the inability of the SMTP protocol to function over dial-up connections between SMTP servers.
Most organizations considering ETRN, are doing so because of the cost savings of a dial-up or ISDN connection versus a dedicated line or because DSL is not available in their area.
ETRN takes advantage of misusing the ISP's Mail Server queuing mechanism which is intended only to provide a fail-safe for a temporarily failed communications line.

ETRN Configuration Many dial on demand sites experience burst delivery of their mail which may or may not coincide with their connectivity to their provider.
ETRN is a facility offered by many SMTP mail hosting sites that allows one to make the delivery more predictable.
ETRN can be used to short-circuit the queue run timing so that your mail can be dequeued and received immediately.

 Simpler-Webb -  Resources - Exchange - SMTP
The ETRN command is defined to cause mail for a particular domain(s) to dequeue.
Since ETRN is simply another token that the SMTP protocol can pass, some method must be designed to connect to the host on the SMTP port (TCP 25), send the ETRN command, then quit.
ETRN is supported natively in Exchange 5.0 SP1 and later.

 ETRN and ATRN ODMR Mail Backup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
ETRN is a network service that provides additional fail-over for your email system.
Because it functions off-site it can capture mail in case of network outages and because it is distributed through 5 data centers it can route your mail even in the case of a major provider going offline.
ETRN is housed at multiple data centers and uses intelligent routing to get around any big provider outages.

The extended ETRN command The extended ETRN command is issued by the client host when it wishes to start the SMTP queue processing of a given server host.
5.2 Client action on receiving response to extended ETRN command If one of the 500 level error codes (550 or 551) are sent, the client should assume that the protocol is not supported in the remote host or that the protocol has not been implemented correctly on either the client or server host.
5.3 Use Of ETRN to release mail for a subdomain or queue If the requesting server wishes to release all of the mail for a given subdomain, a variation on the ETRN command can be used.

 What options can other servers use to request email using the ETRN extension?
ETRN by itself is not a completely secure command so the ETRN utility additionally provides the capability of password protecting mail queues.
This means send all mail for domain.com to server.domain.com on port 25 but only send when an ETRN request is made using the specified password in plain text.
This means that the machine issuing the ETRN command can have a dynamic IP address and doesn't have to have a valid A record in DNS.

 Servicing ETRN Domains - Hula   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
ETRN Domains are messaging systems that use a hosting service, such as an ISP or ASP, to send and receive messages over the Internet.
The ETRN command indicates to the hosting server that the remote site is on line and to send the queued messages for this domain.
When the hosting server receives the ETRN domain command from a remote server, it issues a command to its NMAP agent to send all messages queued for the remote domain.

 Using ETRN with WorldMail 3
ETRN allows a remote server with intermittent connectivity, such as those using a dialup connection, to obtain mail queued for them by the WorldMail 3 Server.
WorldMail 3 also supports Authenticated ETRN, which ensures the SMTP client is authenticated (using the AUTH command with a valid mailbox name and password).
When the customer then connects to WorldMail 3 using the ETRN command (with the MSSTART utility for example), mail will be delivered to their server.

 etrn(1M)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
SMTP's ETRN command allows an SMTP client and server to interact, giving the server an opportunity to start the pro- cessing of its queues for messages to go to a given host.
The etrn utility initiates an SMTP session with the host server-host and sends one or more ETRN commands as follows: If no client-hosts are specified, etrn looks up every host name for which sendmail(1M) accepts email and, for each name, sends an ETRN command with that name as the argument.
Example 1: Using etrn Inserting the line: ETRN_HOSTS="s1.domain.com:clnt.domain.com s2.domain.com:clnt.domain.com" in /etc/default/sendmail results in /etc/init.d/sendmail invoking etrn such that ETRN commands are sent to both s1.domain.com and s2.domain.com, with both having clnt.domain.com as the ETRN argument.

 PMDF System Manager's Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
When the connection is brought up and one side sends to the other, via the ETRN command the SMTP client can also tell the remote side that it should now try to deliver any messages that need to travel in the reverse direction.
The SMTP client specifies on the SMTP ETRN command line the name of the system to which to send messages (generally the SMTP client system's own name).
If the remote SMTP server supports the ETRN command, it will trigger execution of a separate process to connect back to the named system and send any messages awaiting delivery for that named system.

ETRN is turned off with PrivacyOptions=restrictqrun but I can't see the privacy issue.
I can guess DoS if anyone at all can run your queue and maybe make hundreds of connections to do that, but if they are making hundreds of connections to port 25 anyway, that doesn't seem a huge issue (I mean, processing the queue on top of the rest).
I'd like to have ETRN on, and I wonder what others are doing.

However, when this problem occurs, the queued message, which is waiting for the ETRN command, remains in the outgoing queue and never expires after the scheduled time.
After the remote host submits the ETRN command to the Exchange Server computer, a new connection is established from the Exchange Server computer to the remote host.
If the queued message is waiting for the ETRN command, the message never expires even after the scheduled time.

 BackOffice Server 2000 and Small Business Server 2000 ETRN Warning in "Component Messages" Dialog Box During Setup ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
TURN, ATRN, and ETRN are SMTP processes that you can use to poll a remote SMTP host intermittently for mail that is destined for a specific domain.
When the SMTP connector is connected, it sends a TURN, ATRN, or ETRN request (which one depends on your configuration) to the remote server and removes from the queues any SMTP mail that is requested by the command that was issued.
As a result, the TURN, ATRN, or ETRN request is denied and the server is in a state where the SMTP service stops responding (hang).

The the DMail ETRN vulnerability is a classic linear buffer overflow attack.
It's going to consist of the text "ETRN" (any case) followed by 500 bytes of arbitrary data (can be absolutely anything with no CRs), followed by exploit code (can vary).
Also note that this rule is coded to only look for this data at the start of a packet.
