.SH NAME
smtpd \- Smtp protocol server front end process
.SH
.in +.5i
.ti -.5i
/usr/lib/pp/smtpd
\%[-p\ port] \%[-i\ maxcon] server channel
.in -.5i
(under rc.local or inetd)
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Smtpd
is the front end to the smtp server provided with PP. 
It provides a simple network listener service for smtp requests
similar to that provided by \fIinetd(8)\fP. However, the smtp server
it invokes can normally be run directly under inetd.
.PP
.I Smtpd
responds to the following flags.
.TP
\-p port
When running standalone, this overrides the default internet port that
\fIsmtpd\fP listens on.
.TP
\-i maxcon
When running standalone, this option limits the number of simultaneous
smtp connections that can be open. Once this limit is reached,
\fIsmtpd\fP will ignore further requests for connections until one of
the current connections terminates.
.PP
The two mandatory arguments to \fIsmtpd\fP are firstly the pathname of
the server that is to be executed to obey the smtp protocol, and
secondly the PP channel that the server should claim to originate from.
Neither of these values default and both must be specified.
