To initiate Mail Delivery from Mailkeep you can use either ETRN or ODMR. You will need to connect to Mailkeep's SMTP server to do this, which is smtp.mailkeep.net.

Using ETRN

ETRN (Extended TuRN) is a common mail delivery protocol. It is essentially just a command sent to our mail server to tell us to start delivering mail to you. We require a specially formed ETRN parameter, which looks like :-

account;password

Where account is your Mailkeep account number, and password is your Mailkeep account password.

If your mail server doesn't support ETRN, you can use our free utlity: etrn.zip. You simply run it (while online) when your mail server is ready using :-

etrn.exe -a accountnumber -p password

Where account is your Mailkeep account number, and password is your Mailkeep account password. If you need the mail to be delivered to a non-standard port, add -o port to the parameters, as in

etrn.exe -a accountnumber -p password -o port

When your ISP blocks outgoing connections to port 25

Some Internet Service Providers block either outbound or inbound access to port 25 to prevent you from running your own mail server or bypassing their mail server.

In Mailkeep you can get around this. smtp.mailkeep.net also listens on ports 2525 and 366.

To have mail sent to you using ETRN on a different port, just configure it in your Access control panel.
