Account Access and Control

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The following section lists the account access and control commands available to account holders. All of these commands require the message to be authenticated using SMTP AUTH. Parameters contained in [brackets] are optional. For example: "name [address]" could be entered as "Lois" alone or with the optional parameter added: "Lois LLane@dailyplanet.com". For more on using the following commands in email messages, see: Remote Server Control via Email.

DESCRIPTION

ACCOUNT INFO

none

The status of the account passed in the subject line is mailed back to the originator.

new password

The password of the account passed in the subject line will be changed to the one specified.

BEGIN SIGNATURE

none

Begins recording of a new signature file to be appended to messages generated by the account passed in the subject line. Subsequent lines will be treated as the text of the signature file until the word END is encountered on a line by itself or the end of the control message is reached.

NOTE: The signature file feature is only available for RAW format messages. RFC-2822 mail that arrives at the server using SMTP or POP will not append the signature file.  In these cases see your mail client's documentation for information concerning signature files.

BEGIN AUTORESPONDER

I'm on vacation right now. I'll get back to you ASAP.

END

To erase an active autoresponder use the same command but without any response text.

Example:

BEGIN AUTORESPONDER

END
