        !            14: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            15: \f4smtpd\fP is a daemon that normally runs while in multi-user mode,
        !            16: waiting for requests from remote hosts to send mail.
        !            17: \f4smtpd\fP listens for these requests on any TLI-based network for which the
        !            18: .SM SMTP
        !            19: service is defined (to \f4netdir_getbyname\fP(3)).
        !            20: Normally, this will only be the ``tcp'' network.
        !            21: As requests are received, \f4smtpd\fP will fork off child \f4smtpd\fP
        !            22: processes to handle each individual

        !            29: Do not create \f4smtpsched\fP processes to process the incoming mail.
        !            30: Rely on the hourly \f4cron\fP(1) invocation of \f4smtpsched\fP instead.
        !            31: .TP
