This triggered a vague memory and led to me taking a quick look at 5321 and
the draft. Section E.1 talks about the TURN command which does something
that is not exactly sender-push or recipient-pull. ...
Skipping over the question of whether anyone actually uses TURN or ETRN,
this misses my point. They only affect the timing of what you receive,
not the contents. All they do is tell the far end to send you whatever is
already in the queue.
It's not like http or FTP where you can tell it send me so-and-so. The
contents are entirely determined by the sending end,
Yes, I know there are mail servers that reply to requests but that's
several levels up the stqck.
R's,
