+<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
+<p>This is a minimal SMTP server which only forwards mail to pipe destinations
+in /etc/aliases. It does nothing else. Its intended function is on an
+internal mail server that forwards mail to other programs on a per address
+basis.</p>
+<p>UnderSMTPD reads /etc/aliases for usernames; if a match is identified
+the message is piped to the given program. Any problems executing the program
+will cause a temporary SMTP error to be returned to the connecting client.</p>
+<p>Other kinds of aliases are not recognized and cause a perminant SMTP error
+to be returned to the connecting client, as do usernames not found in
+/etc/aliases</p>
+<p>UnderSMTP was originally written to be used with the Request Tracker ticketing
+system.</p>
+<p>UnderSMTP uses Net::SMTP::Mail to do all the hard work.</p>
