+Mailagent allows you to process your mail automatically. Given a set
+of lex-like rules, you are able to fill mails to specific folders,
+forward messages to a third person, pipe a message to a command or
+even post the message to a newsgroup. It is also possible to process
+messages containing some commands. The mailagent is not usually
+invoked manually but is rather called via the filter program, which is
+in turn invoked by sendmail.
+
+Most portion of this package is written in Perl and version 5.01M or
+higher is known to work nicely.
+
+You are advised to setup the path variable in your mailagent configuration
+to include the directory containing perl5 before /usr/bin to avoid getting
+a lot of warning message although they are harmless.
+
+See the man page for the detailed information.
