+The smtpd daemon talks the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) with other
+SMTP daemons to receive mail from them, and saves it into a spool directory
+for later processing. It is the store portion of an SMTP store and forward
+proxy. The symbiotic companion program smtpfwdd is used to forward the
+spooled mail on to its eventual destination.
+
+smtpd is invoked from a super-server such as inetd or juniperd.
+
+There is a patch available to do MAPS RBL style lookups at
+ftp://ftp.obtuse.com/pub/smtpd/patch-smtpd-2.0-RBL.gz.
+
+Documentation is avaialble online with the juniper documentation.
+See the docs for smtpd as a starting point, at
+http://www.obtuse.com/juniper-docs/man/smtpd.html
+
+Access control rules based on the connecting host, and the smtp envelope are
+supported. It contains some powerful features for stopping inbound or
+outbound SPAM.
