+.Sh GLOBAL CONFIGURATION
+Here are the settings that can be set globally:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
+.It Ic hostname Ar name
+Specify primary domain name of the server.
+By default, current host name is used,
+as returned by
+.Xr hostname 1 .
+.Pp
+.It Xo
+.Ic listen on Ar interface
+.Op Ic port Ar port
+.Op Ic tls | smtps
+.Op Ic certificate Ar name
+.Op Ic enable auth
+.Xc
+Specify an
+.Ar interface
+and
+.Ar port
+to listen on.
+Address or domain name may be used in place of
+.Ar interface .
+.Pp
+Secured connections are provided either with STARTTLS,
+by default on port 25,
+or SMTPS,
+by default on port 465.
+If no certificate
+.Ar name
+is specified, the
+.Pa /etc/mail/certs
+directory is searched for a file named by joining
+.Ar interface
+name with a .crt extension, eg.
+.Sq /etc/mail/certs/fxp0.crt .
+Creation of certificates is documented in
+.Xr starttls 8 .
+.Pp
+If the
+.Ic enable auth
+parameter is used,
+sender that passed SMTPAUTH is allowed to relay mail using standard DNS-based routing,
+unless a filter rule was matched that dictated different action.
+.Sh MAPS
+Maps provide generic interface for associating textual key to a value.
+Such associations may be accessed through a flat file, database, or DNS.
+There are three maps known to smtpd:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It alias
+Map queried when resolving mail aliases.
+Query key is the user part of mail address.
+.It virtual
+Map used for creating virtual domains.
+See the
+.Sx VIRTUAL DOMAINS
+section below.
+.It secrets
+Map queried for credentials
+when relaying mail via server that requires SMTPAUTH
+before accepting mail for relaying.
+Query key is the domain name of the server acting as relay.
+.El
+.Pp
+The configuration directives that are valid in the
+.Ic map
+context are described below:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Ic type Ar maptype
+Specifies method of accessing data.
+The following map types are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It db
+Mappings are stored in a file created using
+.Xr makemap 8 .
+This is the default type if none is specified.
+.It dns
+Not implemented yet.
+.It file
+Not implemented yet.
+.El
+.It Ic source Ar mapsource
+Specifies the source of mapping data.
+It must be absolute path to a file in case of
+.Dq file
+and
+.Dq db
+.Ar maptype ,
+and a domain name in case of
+.Dq dns .
+.El
+.Sh FILTER RULES
+.Xr smtpd 8
+has the ability to
+.Ar accept
+and
+.Ar reject
+messages based on information gathered during SMTP session.
+.Pp
+For each message processed by the daemon,
+the filter rules are evaluated in sequential order,
+from first to last.
+The first matching rule decides what action is taken.
+If no rule matches the message,
+the default action is to reject the message.
+.Pp
+Following the
+.Ic accept
+/
+.Ic reject
+decision comes client's IP address filter:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Ic from Ar network
+The rule will match if connection is made from the specified
+.Ar network .
+If missing,
+rule will apply to locally originated connections only.
+.It Ic from all
+Make the rule match regardless of the IP of connecting client.
+.El
+.Pp
+Next comes the selection based on the domain the message is sent to:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Ic for domain Ar domain
+This rule applies to mail destined for specified
+.Ar domain .
+This parameter supports
+.Sq *
+wildcard,
+so that one can have single rule for all sub-domains, for example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
-smtpport = 25
-listen on 127.0.0.1 port $smtpport
-listen on fxp0 port $smtp_port
-ssmtp listen on fxp0 port $smtp_port enable auth
+accept for domain "*.example.com" deliver to mbox
+.Ed
+.It Ic for local
+This rule applies to mail destined to
+.Dq localhost
+and to the server's fully qualified domain name,
+as returned by
+.Xr hostname 1 .
+.It Ic for all
+Make the rule match regardless of the domain it is sent to.
+.El
+.Pp
+Finally, method of delivery is specified:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Ic deliver to mbox
+Message is delivered to local user's system mailbox in
+.Pa /var/mail .
+.It Ic deliver to maildir Ar path
+Message is added to a maildir. Its location,
+.Ar path ,
+may contain format specifiers that are expanded before use,
+see the
+.Sx EXPANSION
+section below.
+.It Ic deliver to mda Ar program
+Message is piped to the specified
+.Ar program ,
+which is run with privileges of the user the message is destined to.
+This parameter may use conversion specifiers that are expanded before use,
+see the
+.Sx EXPANSION
+section below.
+.It Ic relay
+Message is relayed.
+The routing decision is based on the DNS system.
+.It Xo
+.Ic relay via
+.Ar host
+.Op Ic port Ar port
+.Op Ic tls | smtps | ssl
+.Op Ic enable auth
+.Xc
+Message is relayed through the specified
+.Ar host
+and
+.Ar port .
+.Pp
+Security of the communication channel may be enforced using the
+.Ic tls
+or
+.Ic smtps
+option.
+Special keyword,
+.Ic ssl ,
+means any of the two is acceptable:
+SMTPS is tried first, STARTTLS second.
+.Pp
+If SMTPAUTH session with
+.Ar host
+is desired, use the
+.Ic enable auth
+parameter.
+.El
+.Sh VIRTUAL DOMAINS
+Virtual domains are kept in the virtual map.
+To create single virtual address, add
+.Dq user@example.com
+to the virtual map.
+To handle all mail destined to any user at example.com, add
+.Dq @example.com
+to the virtual map.
+.Pp
+In addition to adding an entry to the virtual map,
+one must add a filter rule that accepts mail for the virtual domain,
+for example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+accept for domain "example.com" deliver to mbox
