.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the \fBsmtpprox\fP command.
.PP
\fBsmtpprox\fP is a trivial transparent SMTP proxy, an SMTP server
and client combination. It uses its own SMTP server and client
modules which are designed to expose every step of the protocol
dialogue to the calling program, which provides for the greatest
flexibility in hooking in envelope and content controls and scanning.

.SH OPTIONS
.SH OPTIONS
.B
.IP --children=N
The number of child processes to maintain in the service pool.
Each child terminates after servicing a random number of messages between
\fIminperchild\fR and \fImaxperchild\fR.
.br
[default 16]
.B
.IP --minperchild=N
Minimum number of messages serviced by a child process.
.br
[default 100]
.B
.IP --maxperchild=N
Maximum number of messages serviced by a child process.
.br
[default 200]
.B
.IP --debugtrace=filename_prefix
If \fIdebugtrace\fR is specified, the prefix will have the PID
appended to it for a separate logfile for each child, which will
capture all the SMTP dialogues that child services. It looks like a
snooper on the client side of the proxy.
