Welcome to the vmsnet.sources archive mailserver.  The files here were
posted to the vmsnet.sources newsgroup, intended primarily for VAX/VMS
software.

The PMDF MAILSERV facility is a mail server that will return files that are
requested via mailserv commands.  The commands are send as the body of a mail
message to mailserv@cerritos.edu.

Currently the following commands are available:

HELP - sends a help file (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.

SEND - sends the requested file.  You can specify a directory, filename,
    and file type when using the SEND command.  Device (and logical) names
    are ignored.  In particular, you do not need to include the logical
    name PMDF_MAILSERV_FILES_DIR.  Some examples of valid send commands
    (given that the files exist):

    SEND HELP.TXT
    SEND [PBMPLUS]PART01.SHARE
    SEND [PBMPLUS]PART02.SHARE

Notes:
    Wildcards are not supported.

    There is a limit of 20 commands per mail message.

    Do not use REPLY to get more stuff from MAILSERV.  MAILSERV-REPLY is
    used as a place for bounced mail to go.  It won't handle requests.

    Mailserv uses the From: address to return information.  This should be
    a legal domain name (i.e user@a.b.c) so that we can use our routing
    rules to get the reply back.
