Use the Catalogs » New Catalog... or Catalogs » Edit Catalog... menu selection to open the Catalogs Editor for creating or editing a file catalog. Catalogs give users the ability to request files across the network and have them encoded and mailed back to them. Catalogs work by allowing the mail administrator to assign a "magic name" (i.e. shortcut) to files on disk. Magic names are like aliases which point to a specific file located somewhere accessible to MDaemon. A user can then use a special type of email message to request the file using the magic name. The format of this email message is described in the Remote Server Control section (see the GET command in Mailing List and Catalog Control.

The PUBLIC catalog is an exception to the normal rules governing access to file catalogs. Typically, to access a catalog requires a password that has been assigned to the catalog. With the PUBLIC catalog the password is not required. Files listed in the PUBLIC catalog are available to anyone who knows the file's magic name.
