+.Sh SYNOPSIS

+.Op Fl tv
+.Op Fl f Ar from
+.Op Fl F Ar name
+.Ar to ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is a
+.Xr mailwrapper 8
+compatible interface which acts as a local enqueuer for the
+.Xr smtpd 8
+daemon.
+The message is read on standard input (stdin) until
+.Nm
+encounters an end-of-file.
+The
+.Nm
+enqueuer is not intended to be used directly to send mail,
+but rather via a frontend known as a mail user agent.
+.Pp
+Unless the optional
+.Fl t
+flag is specified,
+one or more recipients must be specified on the command line.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl t
+Read the message's To:, Cc:, and Bcc: fields for recipients.
+The Bcc: field will be deleted before sending.
+.It Fl v
+Enable verbose output.
+.It Fl f
+Set the sender's address.
+.It Fl F
+Set the sender's full name.
+.El
+.Pp
+To maintain compatibility with Sendmail, Inc.'s implementation of
+.Nm ,
+various other flags are accepted,
+but these have no effect.
