PMDF MAILSERV V4.2                                                      HELP

The PMDF MAILSERV facility is a mail server available to all sites running
PMDF. This file briefly describes the commands this mailserver implements.

Currently the following commands are available:

DIRECTORY - Sends a list of the file or files that match a given file
    specification. This command is basically the same as the SEND command
    below, except that it sends a list of the files that match rather than
    the contents of the file. For example, the command

        DIRECTORY [*...]*.PAS

    will produce a listing of all files with a .PAS extension (i.e. Pascal
    source files) available from the server.

DIRECTORY/LIST - Sends a list of a specified subset of mailing lists this
    server provides access to. This command takes a single parameter that
    specifies a pattern to match the names of the mailing lists against. The
    pattern can contain wildcards. For example, the command

        DIRECTORY/LIST *A*

    will list the names of all lists containing the letter A.

ENCODING - Establishes an encoding to be applied to files before they are
    sent. Encoding makes it possible to send binary files via mail. The
    single parameter specifies the encoding to use. Available encodings
    include MIME-compliant BASE64 and QUOTED_PRINTABLE, as well as UUENCODE
    and HEXADECIMAL.

    The manager of the mail server can establish default encodings to apply
    to certain types of files. This command will override such
specifications
    if they have been made.

END - Terminates MAILSERV processing; subsequent message contents are
ignored.
    This command is useful when signatures are automatically appended to
    messages that will cause errors if MAILSERV sees them.

EXIT - Same as END

HELP - Sends a help file (usually this file).  This command takes no
parameters.

INDEX - Sends an index of all files currently available on the MAILSERVer.
    This command takes no parameters.

INFO - Sends a help file.  This command is the same as HELP and takes no
    parameters.

LISTS - Sends a file containing a list of the mailing lists maintained by
this
    server. The file normally includes an explanation of what each list is
for.
    This command takes no parameters.

MAXIMUM - Specifies the maximum amount of material that can be sent in a
single
    message. The mail server will automatically send files in multiple
    messages. The format of these fragments is MIME-compliant. Maximum sizes
    can be specified in blocks, bytes, or lines. For example:

        MAXIMUM BLOCKS 10
        MAXIMUM BYTES 64000
        MAXIMUM LINES 256

    A block is normally 512 bytes. Restrictions on total bytes and total
    lines can be active simultaneously.

MODE - Specifies the mode used to read files subsequently processed by the
    SEND command. The mode can be TEXT, BLOCK, RECORD, or RECORD-ATTRIBUTE.
    TEXT mode is used to sent plain text files. BLOCK mode processes files
    without regard to their record structure, and is useful for transferring
    files with no interpretation of their contents. RECORD mode reads the
file
    as a series of records and concatenates them to form the output.
    RECORD-ATTRIBUTE reads the file as a series of records and if the
records
    attributes are appropriate it appends a specified terminator sequence to
    each record. For example, the command

        MODE "RECORD-ATTRIBUTE/\N"

    specifies RECORD-ATTRIBUTE mode with a line feed appends to each record.

QUIT - Same as END

SEND - Sends the requested file or files.  You can specify a directory,
    filename, and file type when using the SEND command. Wildcards may be
    used to request multiple files. Some examples of valid send commands
    are (given that the files exist):

        SEND HELP.TXT
        SEND [RUSH]GEDDY.LEE
        SEND [DOC.V2.AFTER]TURN.THE_PAGE
        SEND [STUFF]*.FOR

    The SEND command takes two optional qualifiers, /ENCODING and /MODE.
These
    qualifiers perform the same functions as the ENCODING and MODE commands,
    except that they only act on the command they are used with:

        SEND/MODE=BLOCK/ENCODING=UUENCODE [TEST]TEST.EXE

SEND/LIST - sends the list of addressees on the requested mailing list.
    The name of the mailing list must be specified.  Some examples of valid
    SEND/LIST commands are (given that the lists exist):

        SEND/LIST MAILSERV-L
        SEND/LIST PLAGUE_L  (this is a real list!)

SUBSCRIBE - subscribe to the specified mailing list.  You specify the name
of
    the mailing list.  Some examples of valid SUBSCRIBE commands are (given
    that the lists exist):

        SUBSCRIBE MAILSERV-L
        SUBSCRIBE ALIFESON-L

    An optional second parameter, the address to subscribe, may be specified
    with these commands.

UNSUBSCRIBE - unsubscribe to the specified mailing list.  You specify the
    name of the mailing list.  Some examples of value UNSUBSCRIBE commands
    are (given that the lists exist):

        UNSUBSCRIBE BOINK-L
        UNSUBSCRIBE POLICY-L

    An optional second parameter, the address to unsubscribe, may be
specified
    with these commands.
