+Sendmail acts as a unified "post office" to which all mail can be
+submitted. Address interpretation is controlled by a production
+system, which can parse both domain-based addressing and old-style
+"ad hoc" addresses. The production system is powerful enough to
+rewrite addresses in the message header to conform to the standards
+of a number of common target networks, including old (NCP/RFC733)
+Arpanet, new (TCP/RFC822) Arpanet, UUCP, and Phonenet. Sendmail
+also implements an SMTP server, message queueing, and aliasing.
