Perhaps some notation should be made that POP3 and possibly also IMAP4 provide a similar functionality with authentication on a per-user basis? A comment perhaps, though those things aren't really similar to TURN. A method to cause the destination mailer to attempt, now, to send any mail it has in its queues for the originator site would be useful - though this clearly is new functionality. It is however much more like TURN was intended to be, if only TURN could be trusted for anything. Intermittent links need some mechanism like this (where there isn't just one user at the remote end). kre
