XATRN is a ODMR ATRN (RFC2645) client for win32 platforms.
You can use it if you have a SMTP mailserver connected to
the internet with a dynamic ip address dialup connection and you want
to get e-mail for a whole domain (ie *@domain.com). Of course
you need your ISP to run a RFC2645 compliant mailserver.
You need XATRN only if you have a mailserver
which does not support ATRN and you want to dequeue mail
from your ISP.
XATRN is a command line utility. You can schedule
it with the scheduler included in your mailserver or in your
system.
XATRN supports CRAM-MD5 authentication,
as required by RFC2645.
Why ODMR is better for dialup mailservers ?
ODMR is better than ETRN because it does not require a
static ip address.
ODMR is better than TURN because of its standardized
authentication.
ODMR is better than a "whole domain" POP3-mailbox,
because it keeps the envelope informations intact,
for example Bcc recipients.
ODMR does not require to open incoming ports on your
firewall.
Status
07 Oct 2009: XATRN 1.4 released:
all timeouts can be changed using the "-u" switch
xatrn now will retry dequeue 5 times when the connection is not
regularly closed with the SMTP "QUIT" command. There is a new
switch, -r x, to change default 5 times to x times.
I'm sorry but no regression testing has been done with different servers (IIS and others). Please report bugs to the author.
