ESMTPD(8)		    Double Precision, Inc.		     ESMTPD(8)

NAME
       esmtpd -	The Courier mail server	mail server ESMTP daemon

SYNOPSIS

       esmtpd {start}

       esmtpd {stop}

       esmtpd {restart}

       esmtpd-msa {start}

       esmtpd-msa {stop}

       esmtpd-msa {restart}

DESCRIPTION
       The command "esmtpd start" runs couriertcpd in the background,
       listening on the	SMTP port.  couriertcpd	will run courieresmtpd in
       response	to connection requests.

       The command "esmtpd stop" stops the couriertcpd daemon, shutting	down
       the ESMTP service.

       The command "esmtpd-msa start" starts the server	on the message
       submission port,	port 587. "esmtpd-msa stop" stops it. The difference
       between esmtpd and esmtpd-msa is	that the latter	is set up for
       additional processing as	defined	by RFC 2476 (mainly that the messages
       will have the Message-ID: and Date: headers added, by default).

       Normally, makesmtpaccess(8)[1] automatically runs "esmtpd restart", in
       order to	reread the /usr/local/etc/courier/smtpaccess.dat access	file,
       so you don't have to do it manually, yourself. Similarly,
       makesmtpaccess-msa(8)[1]	automatically runs esmtpd-msa restart

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd
	   This	configuration file initializes various settings	for
	   courieresmtpd.

       /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd-msa
	   This	configuration file initializes the settings for	courieresmtpd
	   when	invoked	by esmtpd-msa. Note that this file is used to override
	   the settings	/usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd. The command "esmtpd-msa
	   start" first	reads /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd, then afterwards
	   /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd-msa. Any settings in esmtpd-msa
	   override the	corresponding settings in esmtpd
