To read it without installing the package run `info -f doc/mailfromd.info'. After the package is installed the documentation can be accessed running `info mailfromd'. The online copy of the documentation in various formats is available at http://gray.gnu.org.ua/software/mailfromd/manual. * Overview Mailfromd is a Sendmail filter that checks validity of a sender email address. Sender address verification, implemented by mailfromd allows you to block a sender address if it is not deliverable, thereby cutting off a large amount of spam. It is also useful to block mail for undeliverable recipients, for example on a mail relay host that does not have a list of all the valid recipient addresses. This prevents undeliverable junk mail from entering the queue, so that your MTA doesn't have to waste resources trying to send `MAILER-DAEMON' messages back. The program runs as a daemon, communicating with Sendmail via Milter interface. * Building Please, refer to the node "Building" in the accompanying documentation. If you have GNU texinfo installed on your system, run info --node Building -f doc/mailfromd from the package root directory. The documentation in various formats is also available online, see http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/software/mailfromd/manual. * Configuring and Running Please, see mailfromd documentation. * Bug reporting.
