True, but I picked the example that I gave because it was simple to =
outline
:) Here are a couple of other uses:

- A new userstats that returns info like
        - last login
        - last client domain name (RDNS lookup)

R> These should be able to be run server side, if I remember correctly a
file is created in the user mailbox with the needed info on POP3, use
cfgfileget

        - total amount of spam the user received today=20

R> changes depending on the spam software so it couldn't be universal,
but if you can make your sw increment a counter in the MailRoot and use
cfgfileget

- a server stats
        - total logins
        - startup time
        - current memory usage
        - etc.
R> These would require api from XMail

- alter the startup parameters
- restart xmail to pickup changes
- etc.

R> These you can do through many other means, if you are running a web
based admin package, run it on your XMail server and add scripts to
modify the startup or run a restart batch or script

Basically, the reason for the request to so that more complete remote =
manage
application can be written :)  It would be great is the ctrl protocol =
could
grow so that a complete xmail environment could be managed (spam, xmail
server startup parameters, other external tools, etc). All of the ideas
=
that
I have are things that cannot be done using the existing ctrl protocol.
