Skipping over the question of whether anyone actually uses TURN or ETRN,
For the record, i manaually do use telnet to port with ETRN when my home has been offline and I brought it back and I want to tickle my MX to deliver its stash over to my home SMTP server 😀
Could I use “ssh root@mx sendmail -q”, if this got removed. Yes I could)[*]
My point was that SMTP is sender-push, and TURN or ETRN only speed up the
pushing. They don't request specific data like http does.
In any event, TURN is only mentioned in an appendix about deprecated
features, and ETRN, since it is an optional extension defined in RFC 1985,
is only mentioned in passing where it notes that if you get mail from a
host, you can treat that like an implict ETRN and send mail queued in the
other direction. I don't see any reason to change either of those.
