Sample Session - The MailDrop SysOp's Point of View
Here is a transcription of the entire session described step-by-step in the
previous section, exactly as it would appear to the MailDrop's operator
(Sys0p). We're assuming that the MDMON command is still set to ON, the default
state.
As long as MDMON is ON, you have the ability to directly supervise the
activities of any station logged on to your MailDrop and if needed, take any
corrective actions.
