The MailServer looks for its instruction in the body of the message. It ignores the subject. These are some of the instructions that the MailServer understands:
Please make sure that your email address in the header of the message is valid. The MailServer uses that to send the files to you. I've gotten a lot of bounced messages from those of you with unreachable email addresses.
Here is a sample session:
$ mail [email protected]The email address of the server is mailserv@saigon.com. Some of you who are in the UUCP domain might have problem sending mail to an Internet style address. Try one of the following UUCP paths:
Subject: anything_here
BEGIN
DIR viet.net
GET viet.net/vnterm.tar.Z
END
