=====================================================================
General hints
-------------
If you send an email to the mail processor the complete
command sequence must be in the subject (not in the mail body)!
In order to protect individual users each command sequence
starts with the username and the password of the user
requesting the action. Actions will only be performed if
the password is correct!
All parts of the command sequence must be separated by
space!
Phrases in <> must be replaced by approprate values!
The mail processor will process your email immediately
after you sent it. If mail processing has been finished
(max. 1 minute after you sent the email) you will receive
a confirmation email indicating the state of your requested
actions.
