Not true. TURN is incredibly insecure, because it feeds messages back
over an unverified connection, but ETRN is as secure any other SMTP
exchange. Basically, it's just telling a server "hey, if you've got
any mail for host X, you should try sending it now".

qmail+serialmail supports AutoTURN, which is like ETRN, but doesn't
require the remote site to send an ETRN command.
