This memo documents a long-standing technique, supported by a large
number of mail servers, which allows users to be notified of new
mail. In addition to server support, there are a number of clients
that support this, ranging from full email clients to specialized
clients whose only purpose is to receive new mail notifications and
alert a mail client.
In brief, the server sends the string "nm_notifyuser" CRLF to the
finger port on the IP address (either configured or last used) of the
user who has received new mail.
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
