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.
