+
+Description
+-----------
+
+A Bacula compatible mail submission programm and an alternative to Bacula's
+:command:`bsmtp` SMTP client.
+
+Bacula's :command:`bsmtp` needs an underlying mailer that listens on a
+TCP port. :command:`bsmtp2dma` can be used if the underlying mailer does `not`
+listen to an SMTP port (e.g. :manpage:`dma(8)`, :command:`ssmtp` et al.).
+
+The underlying mailer should be compatible to :command:`sendmail`.
+
+
+Options
+-------
+
+.. program:: bsmtp2dma
+
+.. option:: -V
+
+   Show the program version and usage and exit.
+
+.. option:: -8
+
+   Does nothing. Act as a compatibility option for :command:`bsmtp`.
+
+.. option:: -c address
+
+   Set the ``CC:`` header to `address`
+
+.. option:: -d n
+
+   Does nothing. Act as a compatibility option for :command:`bsmtp`.
+
+.. option:: -f address
+
+   Set the ``FROM:`` header to `address`.
+
+   If not given it it set to the sender's address.
+
+.. option:: -h mailhost:port
+
+   Does nothing. Act as a compatibility option for :command:`bsmtp`.
+
+.. option:: -l number
+
+   Does nothing. Act as a compatibility option for :command:`bsmtp`.
+
+.. option:: -r address
+
+   Set the ``Reply-To:`` header to `address`.
+
+.. option:: -s subject
+
+   Set the "Subject:" header to `subject`.
+
+
+Implementation Notes
+--------------------
+
+The body of the email message is read from standard input. Message is
+terminated by sending the ``EOF`` character (:kbd:`Control-d` on many
+systems) on the start of a new line, much like many :command:`mail`
+commands.
+
+The message is collected into a temporary file and send to all given
+recipients by using the configured underlying mail command.
+
+
+Files
+-----
+
+:command:`bsmtp2dma` reads a configuration file -- if available -- from
+:file:`/usr/local/etc/local-bsdtools/bsmtp2dma.conf`.
+
+It is a shell style configuration file which is sourced in a program start.
+
+The following configuration settings are currently supported:
+
+  ``MAILER``
+      The absolute path to the underlying mail command.
+
+      The default is :command:`/usr/sbin/sendmail`.
