smtpd
is a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) daemon which can be used as a machine's primary mail system.
smtpd
can listen on a network interface and handle
SMTP transactions; it can also be fed messages through the standard
sendmail(8) interface. It can relay messages through
remote mail transfer agents or store them locally using either the mbox or
maildir format. This implementation supports SMTP as defined by RFC 5321 as
well as several extensions. A running smtpd
can be
controlled through smtpctl(8).
The options are as follows:
-D
macro=value-d
