Email Notification for Packages Explained

Barnard's package tracking software ("WITS") provides email notification of package arrivals. You should never reply to these emails, which are automatically generated. In your email index, the following headers should appear:

Subject: WITS Automated Email

From: mailer@witstracking.com

The sample notification message below is typical. Each filled in item is explained here. Items without data should be ignored. (We hope to get empty fields eliminated in future versions of the software.)
