\\[destination]\mailslot\\messngr is a mailslot name used for sending messages on a network. This name is undocumented, though is widely used exactly for this purpose.

In WinNT/Win2K network you can choose any computer or server name on your network as a destination. An asterick (*) is for the primary domain. With this name chosen as a destination the message is delivered to all computers.

It works very similar to NET SEND command.
