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 connec-
     tion 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  or-
     der 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 set-
	 tings	/usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd.	The  command  "esmtpd-msa start"
	 first reads  /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd,  then  afterwards	/usr/lo-
	 cal/etc/courier/esmtpd-msa.  Any  settings  in  esmtpd-msa override the
	 corresponding settings in esmtpd
