MDAEMON SERVER DEFAULT HELP FOR USER ACCOUNTS

Many functions of MDaemon Server can be accessed remotely through the use
of the email transport system itself. For example, you can gain access
to various aspects of your account and can change or reconfigure it by
sending email messages to the server. You can also subscribe or remove
yourself from mailing lists, have files encoded and mailed to you, and
execute server based processes by sending carefully formated mail messages
to the server. Some of these control messages require a valid account on
the server and are password protected. You can gain access to your
accounts by using your POP password. Messages to the server must be
directed to "MDaemon@[host.org]". For those commands which require a
valid account on the server, the subject of the message must contain the
user's POP name and POP password separated by a comma character - ex:
"Bill, MyPassword". Commands are placed within the message body. There
can only be one command per line, but multiple commands can be batched in
the same message.

Account access and control: - The following commands require a valid
account on the mail server. You must place as the subject of the
mail message your POP username and password if you wish to gain
access to any of the commands in the next section. The syntax of
the subject line should be "POP NAME, POP PASSWORD" (notice the
comma) ex: Subject: arvel, mypassword

For any of the following commands to work for you, your system ad-
ministrator must allow your account to originate server control
messages. If you suspect that your remote access has been removed
or is not functioning properly please consult with your administrator.

============================================================================
USERS none A listing of all users hosted by
the server will be mailed back to
the originator.

LIST none A listing of all named lists (groups)
along with the names and address of
all members will be mailed back to
the originator.

SUBSCRIBE groupname [mai...@host.org]
The originator is added to the member-
ship list of the group specified
provided that group exists and allows
remote subscriptions. If an optional
address is specified after the group
name then that address is added to the
list's membership rather than the add-
ress found in the FROM: field of the
subscription message.
ex: SUBSCRIBE mygroup
ex: SUBSCRIBE mygroup m...@mydomain.com

UNSUBSCRIBE groupname [mai...@host.org]
SIGNOFF
The originator is removed from the

provided the group exists and contains
the originator as a member.
ex: UNSUBSCRIBE mygroup
ex: UNSUBSCRIBE mygroup m...@mydomain.com

GET catalog, password, magic-name
Retrieves a file from the specified
catalog, MIME encodes it in an email
message, and sends that message to the
originating account or to the one
specified in a RESULTS TO directive.
NOTE: The PUBLIC catalog doesn't require
a catalog name or password.
ex: GET utils, password, keyword

Dir catalog Retrieves a directory of the files and
magic names available through the catalog.
ex: DIR public

General: - The subject line is ignored while processing these commands.

Command Special Parameters Result
============================================================================
HELP none This file is mailed back to the
originator.

RESULTS TO address Subsequent commands which generate
output will direct that output to
the address specified.
ex: RESULTS TO mai...@host.org

STATUS none A status report on server operations
and current conditions will be mailed
back to the message originator. Since
the information contained in this status
report is considered private, the sub-
ject of the requested message must con-
tain the MDCONFIG Administrator level user
and password such as: Administrator,
Password
ex: STATUS

GET ADDRESS none MDaemon will send a message back to the
originator which will contain the current
machine name and IP address assigned to
MDaemon's computer. This is useful when
you want to find out the IP address
assigned by your ISP when using a dynamic
dialup situation. Since the information
contained in this message is considered
private the subject of the requesting
message must contain the MDConfig
administrator level user and password such
as: Administrator, Password.
Note: The address returned in the one
Windows feels like giving. It could return
your local LAN card IP address as easily
as an ISP assigned one. Until I get a
foolproof method worked out don't depend
on this feature.
ex: GET ADDRESS
