addalias <emailaddress>
Example:
addalias johnny@aol.com
This adds an alias to your account.
Incoming e-mail that uses one of your aliases will be rewritten to contain your account name on this system. This ensures that replies to your e-mails will go throught the server.
aliases
Shows all your current aliases.
See 'help addalias' to learn what aliases can do for you.
delalias <emailaddress>
Example:
delalias johnny@aol.com
Use this command to delete one of your aliases.
end
Stops further command processing.
Use this at the end of your commands in case you have a signature (e.g. with your address). Otherwise the command processor might interpret part of your e-mail signature as commands and you will see all sort of stupid error messages.
get
Most parts of the documentation can be retrieved as e-mail (as well as via web pages). When you use 'get' without a filename, you will receive a list of available help texts.
get <file>
Example:
get Intro
Sends one of the available files to you.
help
Display list of all accessible commands.
help <command>
Example:
help set
Display help for a specific command only.
help <pattern>
Display help for all commands that match the pattern, e.g. 'help *'. You can use '*' and '?' as wildcards.
pubkey
Sends the public key of the server.
Anyone can ask for the server's public key.
pubkey <user>
Example:
pubkey johnny
Sends the public key of the specified user. You must be a user of this system to ask for users keys.
set addr1 <addressline>
Example:
set addr1 Empire State Building
Example:
set addr1 ""
Use this command to update the first line of your address. Your Name and Addr1 to Addr3 should specify a full address in case we have to write something to you (e.g. a bill :-).
The second example shows how to delete an address.
set addr2 <addressline>
Example:
set addr2 1722 Oakland Road
Example:
set addr2 ""
Use this command to update the second line of your address. The second example shows how to delete an entry.
set addr3 <addressline>
Example:
set addr3 22345 Somewhere, CA
Example:
set addr3 ""
Use this command to update the third line of your address. The second example shows how to delete an entry.
set country <country>
Example:
set country USA
Example:
set country ""
Use this command to update the country you're in. The second example shows how to delete an entry.
set encryption <onoff>
Example:
set encryption on
Switches encryption of e-mail sent to you on or off.
You may want to switch encryption of when you temporarily leave your insecure environment and want your e-mail forwarded to you unencrypted (maybe you read the mail when visiting friends).
set forward <emailaddr>
Example:
set forward william.clinton@whitehouse.gov
Set e-mail address to be used when forwarding mail on your behalf.
set key <keyid>
Example:
set key 103e124d
Example:
set key ""
Use this command to set the key id that this program should use when sending e-mail to you. The second example shows how to delete the keyid --- althought this should hardly be necessary.
The key id is 8 or 16 characters long and consists of the digits 0-9 and the letters a-f (in either case). You can see the key id when you send your public key to <hub@localhost> and also in PGP 6 for Windows.
set name <fullname>
Example:
set name Donald Duck
Example:
set name ""
Use this command to enter your full name. Name and Addr1 to Addr3 should specify a full address in case we have to write something to you (e.g. a bill :-).
The second example show how to delete the entry.
set password <password>
Example:
set password e810dId%1
Use this command to set the password that you use for POP3/IMAP. Passwords should have upper and lower case letters, digits and even special characters. Do not use speakable (and therefore guessable) words.
set phone <phonenumber>
Example:
set phone +1-909 123 1223
Example:
set phone ""
Use this command to update your phone number.
This is a free-form field, so you can enter multiple phone numbers or even comments like 'Home: 1234, Office 443322'. The second example show how to delete the entry.
status
Displays your status (guest, user, admin, operator) and your other settings.
to
| Example: | to dagobert@duck.com subject Just a greeting Hi Uncle, how are you? end |
This starts an outgoing e-mail. You can use this feature to send an e-mail throught the command interface. After the 'to' command there must be one one empty line, then your message text. The message stops either when your message is empty or when you use 'end' one one line. You can also specify a your own subject if you want.
When you are a guest to this system, your message must go to user.
When you are a user, you can send messages to anyone: other users and foreign receivers.
