Receiving an SMTP ETRN command
The,  ,  ,  , and   channel options affect the MTA&#x27;s response when a sending SMTP client issues the SMTP ETRN command, requesting that the MTA attempt to deliver messages in the MTA&#x27;s queues. See RFC 1985 for the specification of the SMTP ETRN command syntax. In particular, note that the MTA&#x27;s SMTP server interprets a received    command as a request to deliver all messages for  ,  a received    command as a  request to  run the   channel,  and a received    command as a  request to  run the channel which   rewrites to.

means that the MTA will attempt to honor all ETRN commands and will echo back the name of the channel that will be run in response to the ETRN command. tells the MTA to honor all ETRN commands, but without echoing back the name of the channel which the domain matched and which the MTA will hence be attempting to run. tells the MTA to honor only those ETRN commands that specify a domain; it also causes the MTA not to echo back the name of the channel which the domain matched and which the MTA will hence be attempting to run. disables support for the ETRN command entirely; ETRN will not be advertised by the SMTP server as a supported command. The default behavior, if none of these channel options is explicitly specified, corresponds most closely to.

When ETRN is permitted (, , or   is set, or no option is set), the   mapping table can be used to exert more precise control over which SMTP clients are allowed to issue which ETRN commands (and optionally control over what channel is actually run as a result of the ETRN command).

The  channel option tells the MTA not to honor an ETRN command if the ETRN command attempts to run that channel. Note that this channel option is therefore relevant on a destination channel, not on the incoming TCP/IP  channel (unless that incoming channel would also be the destination channel for an attempted ETRN command). Note that having  set on a destination channel also has this effect.

Also see the discussion of the   SMTP channel setting, which may be used to limit the number of ETRN commands which the MTA will honor during a single session.
