Las Vegas, Seattle, San Diego, Orlando and countless communities in between will see mail service slow by as much as a day under the Postal Service’s strategic restructuring plan, a Washington Post analysis new delivery regimen, which takes effect Oct. 1, disproportionately affects states west of the Rocky Mountains and the country’s mainland extremities, including large swaths of southern Texas and proposed service standards, or the amount of time the agency says it should take to deliver a piece of first-class mail, represent the biggest slowdown of mail services in more than a generation, experts say. It involves significant reductions in airmail — a Postal Service tradition dating to 1918 — and geographic restrictions on how far a piece of mail can travel within a percent of first-class mail sent to Nevada will take longer to arrive, according to The Post’s analysis, as will 60 percent of the deliveries to Florida, 58 percent to Washington state, 57 percent to Montana, and 55 percent to Arizona and Oregon. In all, at least a third of such letters and parcels addressed to 27 states will arrive more slowly under the new General Louis DeJoy contends the plan will cut costs, revitalize the agency’s network and create more consistency in transportation schedules. Though the Postal Service has significantly outpaced its own financial expectations so far this year, it faces a projected $160 billion deficit over the next decade. It estimates that the transportation changes will save as much as $10 billion over that span.“This allows, from our perspective, for the customers to plan, to have predictability,” Robert Cintron, the Postal Service’s vice president of logistics, said in an interview. “They’re going to know what they’re going to get. There’s that one to two days for the longest [delivery] distances that we have to achieve, and we have to achieve those today. Whether we’re traversing 300 or 3,000 miles, it’s the same service standard. And that’s really the part that we see that’s not sustainable.”[Slow mail is no way for USPS to cut costs, bipartisan group of lawmakers tells The Post]The logistical challenges, for example, of getting a letter from Maine to the Grand Canyon — where the agency famously delivers mail from a sack on a mule — won’t change, even if the time allotted to make the deliveries consumer advocates and the mailing industry’s largely friendly but competitive stakeholders have panned the new initiative, saying it will harm customers, drive away mail users and further erode the 246-year-old agency’s credibility, which has taken a hit after a year of pronounced delivery general from 21 states, led by Pennsylvania and New York, in June wrote to the Postal Regulatory Commission PRC to oppose the changes, arguing they discriminate against mail consumers based on geography and that the Postal Service was poised to fall back into poor operational decisions that slowed mail service in the run-up to the 2020 elections.“Only once the Postal Service has shown that it can reliably meet its performance targets should it consider whether it is necessary to change its service standards to address long-term trends in the utilization of its products,” the group Postal Service plans to raise prices on certain mail products — pushing the price of a first-class stamp from 55 to 58 cents — while reducing service standards. For each change, the agency must seek an advisory opinion from the PRC but those rulings are not enforceable. The Postal Service can proceed with the changes regardless of the outcome.“It’s codified in law that the Postal Service is supposed to be binding the nation together,” said Doug Carlson, a postal advocate who cross-examined agency executives during a June hearing before the PRC. “And I don’t think you bind the nation together by saying, Well, if you live on one of the coasts, then you’re going to get slow service just because you’re far away from everyone else.’ ”The new standards would apply only to mail on which the Postal Service holds a monopoly, including first-class mail, like letters and postcards, and such periodicals as newspapers and magazines. The agency in June announced plans to lengthen delivery windows on “first-class package service,” which are small parcels often used to ship medications, lightweight e-commerce purchases and small electronics.[What’s in Louis DeJoy’s 10-year plan for the USPS]DeJoy and agency leaders say the new expectations will provide more stability for delivery schedules, noting that the Postal Service has not hit its current mail service standards — two days for mail sent within 279 miles, three days for mail sent further, with a timely delivery rate of 96 percent — for close to a decade. In fact, the agency has not surpassed 90 percent since DeJoy instituted cost-cutting measures last also contend that adding as much as two days on certain mail deliveries will not fundamentally alter the agency’s service and that individual mailers and businesses will be able to easily adjust to the new time delivery windows are based largely on changes in mail transportation. The Postal Service plans would halve the amount of mail it transports by plane, instead moving it across the country by truck. The agency contends the move will save money and improve reliability; by the end of 2020, only 58 percent of air-transport trips arrived on time, the agency reported, forcing it to spend more on extra mail items through the agency’s network by plane requires 11 mail-handling steps at minimum, the agency says, while trucks require only five steps.“When an entire plane of mail off the West Coast misses coming into the East Coast, it’s not a little bit of volume that you’re impacting. You’re impacting many customers because of that unreliability,” Cintron said. “Again, our focus is to put it on the ground where we know what we can control.”The new standards allot two days for items traveling as far as 139 miles, three days for 930 miles, four days for 1,907 miles and five days for anything beyond, with an on-time rate of 95 would arrive in two days if delivery is within an eight-hour driving radius, three days within 32 hours, four days within 50 hours and five days for anything further. The current service standard sets delivery times for two or three days regardless of many experts say a shake-up of this magnitude will present major mail disruptions, and could mean higher costs for consumers. Mailers and package shippers have cultivated finely calibrated processes, they say, designed to ship everything from utility bills to bank statements to medications. They are engineered to seamlessly interact with the Postal Service’s schedules and will face unprecedented disruptions to adapt to the new delivery standards.“From a pharmacist’s perspective, you’re really, as a provider, at the mercy of a delayed logistical system,” said Anthony Ciaccia, senior adviser at the American Pharmacists Association. “Now it’s a crapshoot. Is it going to be two days, three days, four days, five days, a week? Two? What happens if it ends up in the wrong spot? Now, you restart that process all over again. To me, it just adds unnecessary delays in a treatment plan that has exigency, and life and death and well-being is on the line.”“As a mailer, you really can’t control how the Postal Service’s network is set up,” said Todd Haycock, president of the Major Mailers Association trade group. “But it appears that the Postal Service is optimizing their network for packages and moving mail to something that’s less important.”The Postal Service also dropped its on-time delivery targets — the percentage at which it says mail should arrive on time — to the lowest point in recent memory. The agency amended its 2020 report to Congress on May 14, five months after it turned in the original report, and revised its service targets to 88 percent for two-day first-class mail, and 69 percent for three-to-five-day first-class spokesman David Partenheimer wrote in an emailed statement that the Postal Service amended the report because it needed additional time to assess the effects of the pandemic on transportation capacity and employee availability.“The Postal Service has studied customer preferences, and found that reliability is a top driver of customer satisfaction,” Partenheimer wrote. “Consequently, we are confident that the public will benefit from our effort to introduce greater predictability.”The agency announced the new service standards — part of DeJoy’s “Delivering for America” plan — less than one month before President Biden’s three appointees to the Postal Service’s nine-member governing board were the strategy was endorsed by the six sitting governors — all Trump administration appointees — it was widely condemned on Capitol Hill. A group of House Democrats even introduced legislation to block it, naming it the Delivering Envelopes Judiciously On-time Year-round Act, or DEJOY Act.“I’m not necessarily bought into moving the goal posts on service right out of the gate,” newly sworn governor Amber McReynolds I said in an interview, “especially when we thought the pandemic was the reason behind [service problems].”[FBI inquiry of USPS chief DeJoy threatens bipartisan overhaul bill]The Post’s analysis used Postal Service data submitted to the PRC that outlined the current and proposed service standards for mail sent between combinations of three-digit Zip codes. Zip codes can be combined by their first three digits to cover larger geographic areas. The Post calculated the average change in service standards, weighted by the amount of mail sent between those Zip codes. The agency did not report data on Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto and Republicans in both chambers of Congress told The Post they’d review the new delivery timetables with a focus on how they affected their constituents and how the agency could better balance its service obligations with its financial particular concern, officials of both parties said, is how the new standards will slow mail to rural communities. Postal Service logistics, modeling and analytics director Stephen Hagenstein said in written testimony to the PRC that the service standards would have roughly equal effects on urban and rural Zip codes. The Post’s analysis reached a similar conclusion.“I’m telling you that the mail, in my opinion, in my state has not gone by where the Pony Express is. It’s really important,” said Sen. Jon Tester D-Mont.. “So what are you trying to do here? I mean, you’re trying to just eliminate rural America, is that what the goal is? Because where I come from … people still depend upon the mail.”“If people are going to experience a reduction in service,” said Rep. Mark Amodei R-Nev., “I want to see two things One, that it has got some sort of fairness instead of just, Oh, yeah, it ends up regional.’ And two, I want to know that there was some sort of market analysis done … because I think the last thing you would want if you’re competing in terms of delivering communications in this day and age is, Oh, we’re going to deliver them slower.’ I just don’t see that as market-neutral.”Dylan Moriarty contributed to this report.

A client computer communicates with an SMTP server e-mail server by using SMTP commands. There is a core list of SMTP commands that all SMTP servers supports and these are referred to as basic SMTP commands in this document. All basic SMTP commands that are specified by the SMTP protocol are described below. To allow more flexibility and additional features most SMTP servers also support extended SMTP commands also called ESMTP commands. In official documentation these ESMTP commands are also referred to as SMTP service extensions. Some common and often used ESMTP commands SMTP service extensions are described in this document also. In the SMTP communication examples listed below the letters C and S are used to refer to the client and the server C = Client, S = Server. Basic SMTP Commands Below are the basic SMTP commands described. All SMTP servers that follows the SMTP protocol specification must support these basic commands. HELO Hello The client sends this command to the SMTP server to identify itself and initiate the SMTP conversation. The domain name or IP address of the SMTP client is usually sent as an argument together with the command “HELO If a domain name is used as an argument with the HELO command, it must be a fully qualified domain name also called FQDN. MAIL FROM Specifies the e-mail address of the sender. This command also tells the SMTP server that a new mail transaction is starting and makes the server to reset all its state tables and buffers etc. This command is usually sent as the first command after the identifying and login process. If the senders e-mail address is accepted the server will reply with a 250 OK reply code. Example C MAIL FROM S 250 OK RCPT TO Recipient To Specifies the e-mail address of the recipient. This command can be repeated multiple times for a given e-mail message in order to deliver a single e-mail message to multiple recipients. The example below shows how this command can be used to send same e-mail message to two recipients C MAIL FROM S 250 OK C RCPT TO S 250 OK C RCPT TO S 250 OK DATA The DATA command starts the transfer of the message contents body text, attachments etc. After that the DATA command has been sent to the server from the client, the server will respond with a 354 reply code. After that, the message contents can be transferred to the server. When all message contents have been sent, a single dot “.” must be sent in a line by itself. If the message is accepted for delivery, the SMTP server will response with a 250 reply code. Example the message contents is set to italic in the example below C DATA S 354 Send message content; end with . C Date Thu, 21 May 2008 053329 -0700 C From SamLogic C Subject The Next Meeting C To john C C Hi John, C The next meeting will be on Friday. C /Anna. C . S 250 OK RSET Reset If the RSET command is sent to the e-mail server the current mail transaction will be aborted. The connection will not be closed this is reserved for the QUIT command, see below but all information about the sender, recipients and e-mail data will be removed and buffers and state tables will be cleared. VRFY Verify This command asks the server to confirm that a specified user name or mailbox is valid exists. If the user name is asked, the full name of the user and the fully specified mailbox are returned. In some e-mail servers the VRFY command is ignored because it can be a security hole. The command can be used to probe for login names on servers. Servers that ignore the VRFY command will usually send some kind of reply, but they will not send the information that the client asked for. NOOP No operation The NOOP command does nothing else than makes the receiver to send an OK reply. The main purpose is to check that the server is still connected and is able to communicate with the client. QUIT Asks the server to close the connection. If the connection can be closed the servers replies with a 221 numerical code and then is the session - How To Use Basic SMTP Commands The example below shows how some of the basic SMTP commands described in this page can be used to send an e-mail message trough an SMTP server to a recipient. S 220 Simple Mail Transfer Service Ready C HELO S 250 Hello C MAIL FROM S 250 OK C RCPT TO S 250 OK C DATA S 354 Send message content; end with . C C . S 250 OK, message accepted for delivery queued as 12345 C QUIT S 221 Bye In the example above an e-mail message is sent from mail to john The senders e-mail address is specified by the MAIL FROM command and the recipients e-mail address is specified by the RCPT TO command. The DATA command informs the server that now will the message data be sent e-mail header, body text etc. The single dot below the message contents informs the SMTP server when the message data ends. After a single dot has been sent to the server and the server has responded, a QUIT command is sent to terminate the session. Extended SMTP ESMTP CommandsIf a client initiates the SMTP communication using an EHLO Extended Hello command instead of the HELO command some additional SMTP commands are often available. They are often referred to as Extended SMTP ESMTP commands or SMTP service extensions. Every server can have its own set of extended SMTP commands. After the client has sent the EHLO command to the server, the server often sends a list of available ESMTP commands back to the client. EHLO Extended Hello Same as HELO but tells the server that the client may want to use the Extended SMTP ESMTP protocol instead. EHLO can be used although you will not use any ESMTP command. And servers that do not offer any additional ESMTP commands will normally at least recognize the EHLO command and reply in a proper way. AUTH Authentication The AUTH command is used to authenticate the client to the server. The AUTH command sends the clients username and password to the e-mail server. AUTH can be combined with some other keywords as PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5 AUTH LOGIN to use different login methods and different levels of security. The example below shows how AUTH LOGIN can be used to make an authenticated login S 220 Simple Mail Transfer Service Ready C EHLO S Hello S 250-SIZE 1000000 S 250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 C AUTH LOGIN S 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 C adlxdkej S 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 C lkujsefxlj S 235 Authentication successful After that the AUTH LOGIN command has been sent to the server, the server asks for username and password by sending BASE64 encoded text questions to the client. “VXNlcm5hbWU6” is the BASE64 encoded text for the word "Username" and “UGFzc3dvcmQ6” is the BASE64 encoded text for the word "Password" in the example above. The client sends username and password also using BASE64 encoding. "adlxdkej", in the example above, is a BASE64 encoded username and "lkujsefxlj" is a BASE64 encoded password. More detailed information about the AUTH command is available on this reference page The AUTH Command. STARTTLS Start Transport Layer Security E-mail servers and clients that uses the SMTP protocol normally communicate using plain text over the Internet. The communication often goes through one or more routers that is not controlled or trusted by the server and client. This communication can be monitored and it is also possible to alter the messages that are sent via the routers. To improve security, an encrypted TLS Transport Layer Security connection can be used when communicating between the e-mail server and the client. TLS is most useful when a login username and password sent by the AUTH command needs to be encrypted. TLS can be used to encrypt the whole e-mail message, but the command does not guarantee that the whole message will stay encrypted the whole way to the receiver; some e-mail servers can decide to send the e-mail message with no encryption. But at least the username and password used with the AUTH command will stay encrypted. Using the STARTTLS command together with the AUTH command is a very secure way to authenticate users. The example below shows how to combine the STARTTLS and AUTH LOGIN command to make a secure login to an e-mail server S = Server, C = Client S 220 Simple Mail Transfer Service Ready C EHLO S Hello S 250-SIZE 1000000 S 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 S 250-STARTTLS S 250 HELP C STARTTLS S 220 TLS go ahead C EHLO * S Hello S 250-SIZE 1000000 S 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 S 250 HELP C AUTH LOGIN S 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 C adlxdkej S 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 C lkujsefxlj S 235 Authentication successful C MAIL FROM S 250 OK C RCPT TO S 250 OK C DATA S 354 Send message, end with a "." on a line by itself C S . S 250 OK, message accepted for delivery queued as 12345 C QUIT S 221 Bye * The client sends the EHLO command again to the e-mail server and starts the communication from the beginning, but this time the communication will be encrypted until the QUIT command is sent. SIZE The SIZE command has two purposes. The SMTP server can inform the client what is the maximum message size and the client can inform the SMTP server the estimated size of the e-mail message that will be sent. The client should not send an e-mail message that is larger than the size reported by the server, but normally it is no problem if the message is somewhat larger than the size informed by the client to the server. The example below shows how a server S and client C reports size to each other S 250 SIZE 1000000 C MAIL FROM SIZE=500000 The client sends the SIZE command, and size information, together with the MAIL FROM command. The server sends the command and size information alone. The size is always specified in bytes. HELP This command causes the server to send helpful information to the client, for example a list of commands that are supported by the SMTP server.

AbstractThe dynamic back-action caused by electromagnetic forces radiation pressure in optical1,2,3,4,5,6 and microwave7 cavities is of growing interest8. Back-action cooling, for example, is being pursued as a means of achieving the quantum ground state of macroscopic mechanical oscillators. Work in the optical domain has revolved around millimetre- or micrometre-scale structures using the radiation pressure force. By comparison, in microwave devices, low-loss superconducting structures have been used for gradient-force-mediated coupling to a nanomechanical oscillator of picogram mass7. Here we describe measurements of an optical system consisting of a pair of specially patterned nanoscale beams in which optical and mechanical energies are simultaneously localized to a cubic-micron-scale volume, and for which large per-photon optical gradient forces are realized. The resulting scale of the per-photon force and the mass of the structure enable the exploration of cavity optomechanical regimes in which, for example, the mechanical rigidity of the structure is dominantly provided by the internal light field itself. In addition to precision measurement and sensitive force detection9, nano-optomechanics may find application in reconfigurable and tunable photonic systems10, light-based radio-frequency communication11 and the generation of giant optical nonlinearities for wavelength conversion and optical buffering12.
