This doesn't clarify anything.

What do you mean "invoke a command at the mail server"?

You could use a socket connection and the POP protocol. The javamail API could help with that.

You could Runtime.exec rsh or telnet and execute the command in a shell on the remote system.

Hard to say more without more details from you.

Runtime.exec will execute on the machine it is running. You need some server process on the other box to talk to. Is there one? What protocol does it speak?

When you're just working from the command line, not using Java or JSP at all, how would you check the mail quota?Can you tell me more about your experiences with S/M that you mentioned earlier?
