17 EMSI and IEMSI
EMSI (EMSC-001 and FSC-0056) or "Electronic Mail Standard
Identification" is a handshake method developed by Joaquim H.
Homrighausen and Chris Irwin (author of D'Bridge). It provides
features and flexibility that other handshake methods, such as FTS-1
and FTS-6 (YooHoo), do not offer.
The two major advantages of the EMSI handshake method is the ability
to pickup mail for all your AKAs in one call, and unlimited expansion
of the data (handshake packets) exchanged when a session is
negotiated. I will not go into any technical details about EMSI here,
I will, however, describe the handling of the multiple AKAs.
The EMSI handshake is supported by FrontDoor, AirMail, TrapDoor, and
D'Bridge. I expect other packages such as BinkleyTerm to add support
for it in the near future. EMSI does not interfere with other
handshake protocols such as FTS-1 and FTS-6.
