ETRN is a way to tell a remote SMTP server that your MX host has arrived
back into the land of the living, and that it should start a run through
the mail queued and try deliver any mail pending for your machine..

It doesn't transfer the mail, it's just a way for you to trigger the
queue run at the remote end.

You still need a mail transport facility...
