MORE INFORMATION
TURN, ATRN, and ETRN are SMTP processes that you can use to poll a remote SMTP host intermittently for mail that is destined for a specific domain. This is common in small businesses that do not have a permanent connection to the Internet. Because of this, Microsoft Exchange is set to dial in to the Internet service provider (ISP) to download SMTP mail at scheduled intervals.
When the SMTP connector is connected, it sends a TURN, ATRN, or ETRN request (which one depends on your configuration) to the remote server and removes from the queues any SMTP mail that is requested by the command that was issued. This fix corrects the problem that occurs if there is not any outgoing mail and SMTP fails to send an EHLO (extended HELO) to the remote server. As a result, the TURN, ATRN, or ETRN request is denied and the server is in a state where the SMTP service stops responding (hang).
