NAME

etrn - start mail queue run

|
SYNOPSIS
|
|||
|
|
etrn [-v] server-host [client-hosts]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|||
|
|
SMTP's ETRN command allows an SMTP client and server to
|
|||
|
|
interact, giving the server an opportunity to start the pro<72>
|
|||
|
|
cessing of its queues for messages to go to a given host.
|
|||
|
|
This is meant to be used in start-up conditions, as well as
|
|||
|
|
for mail nodes that have transient connections to their ser<65>
|
|||
|
|
vice providers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.
|
|||
|
|
If any client-hosts are specified, etrn uses each of these
|
|||
|
|
as arguments for successive ETRN commands.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|||
|
|
The following option is supported:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-v The normal mode of operation for etrn is to do all of
|
|||
|
|
its work silently. The -v option makes it verbose,
|
|||
|
|
which causes etrn to display its conversations with
|
|||
|
|
the remote SMTP server.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ENVIRONMENT

|||
