Hi,

I have a TCL script for this:

#!/usr/bin/tclsh

# usage: etrn <server> <domain>

set server [lindex $argv 0]
set domain [lindex $argv 1]
set s [socket $server smtp]
fconfigure $s -buffering line
fconfigure $s -translation {auto crlf}
puts stderr [gets $s]
puts $s "ETRN $domain"
puts stderr [gets $s]
puts $s "QUIT"
puts stderr [gets $s]
close $s

So, lets say that your domain is `mydomain.com' and the machine
that's storing for you is `store.isp.net' then you'd use the script like
this:

etrn store.isp.net mydomain.com

BTW, the script wasn't written by me, it was written by a Linux guru!! :-)


HTH,

Quintin.
