Required cookie string to confirm the command.
The
CONFIRM
command is used to confirm for MAILSERV the execution of a command from a previous message.That is, for security your system administrators may have configured MAILSERV to require confirmation of certain commands. If you receive a message from MAILSERV saying that you need to send a
message back to MAILSERV in order for it to perform some particular command you previously requested, then if you want that command executed you must send back exactly
CONFIRM cookie-string
where
CONFIRM cookie-stringcookie-string
is the exact string MAILSERV tells you to send for that command.Note that you should send a new message back to MAILSERV containing the required
CONFIRM
command, rather than simply resending or bouncing MAILSERV's own message back to MAILSERV (to ensure that you hear about any errors in processing yourCONFIRM
command).Note that if you receive a message from MAILSERV talking about confirming a command that you did not send yourself, then that may mean that someone is attempting to masquerade as you in e-mail and you may want to take this up with your system administrators.
