SMTPD(8)

NAME
smtpd - Smtp protocol server front end process

/usr/lib/pp/smtpd
[-p port] [-i maxcon] server channel
(under rc.local or inetd)

DESCRIPTION
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 inetd(8). However, the smtp server it invokes can normally be run directly under inetd.

Smtpd responds to the following flags.

-p port
    When running standalone, this overrides the default internet port that smtpd listens on.

-i maxcon
    When running standalone, this option limits the number of simultaneous smtp connections that can be open. Once this limit is reached, smtpd will ignore further requests for connections until one of the current connections terminates.

The two mandatory arguments to smtpd 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.
