Maiser Help

To activate the mail server, send a message to the special mail server account at the site ( MAISER@host.domain), with the subject of the message set to anything (the mail server will quote your subject line back to you in its reply), and the commands the mail server should perform listed one per line in the message body. The mail server stops parsing commands when it encounters the end of the message, or a blank line. If your mailer adds a signature to your messages, make sure you enter a blank line after the last command. Unrecognized commands are ignored and generate no error.

The following commands are recognized by the mail server at this site (maiser@fagg.uni-lj.si).
