Many functions of MDaemon can be accessed remotely using the email transport system itself, by sending a specially formatted email to the MDaemon system account, "MDaemon@<MDaemon's Domain>". Messages sent to the server are stored in the server's message directory just like any other user.

Some of these control messages require a valid account on the server. For those commands which require a valid account, the message must be authenticated during the SMTP process using SMTP AUTH.

There are two, broad categories of commands that can be used in email messages: Mailing List and Catalog, and General Email.
