Misfin Server (Unimplemented)
Users can receive mail through multiple methods: a user on the host system, via the Geminimail interface (if enabled), or through the Gemini-Misfin Access Protocol (GMAP) using supported clients. GMAP offers two different mechanisms that intend to mimic IMAP and POP3, respectively. GMAP’s Fetch Address is provided to mimic POP3 and can be configured to delete on fetch or not. The Fetch Address can also be given a query of a start date (in ISO-8601 format) to fetch messages from. This can be used by clients to only get the latest messages that have not been fetched before.
The Misfin Server also allows you to create newsletters, mailinglists, and CGI Mailboxes. CGI Mailboxes are mailboxes that call out to a CGI script when a message has been received.

Misfin Geminimail Interface (Unimplemented)
You can set a misfin server to provide a geminimail interface for easy mail access to users. This is usually served over the same port as the misfin server. However, you can instead serve it over a route of one of your Gemini servers.
