ETRN is a network service that provides additional fail-over for your email system. Because it functions off-site it can capture mail in case of network outages and because it is distributed through 5 data centers it can route your mail even in the case of a major provider going offline. The service queues the email destined for your domain on our servers until your Exchange server comes online, which makes it particularly useful for people who have part-time or unreliable Internet connections (DSL, Cable, single T1's)

ATRN is also a network service that provides additional fail-over for your email system but is intended for hosts that do not have a static IP address (which ETRN requires). In ATRN/ODMR scenario, mail is delivered to the ATRN server where it is queued. The destination mail server then connects to the ATRN server and requests the queue by authenticating itself. The SMTP roles reverse and the client becomes a server in the same session - making it possible to implement through complex firewalls and without a static IP address.
