+.TH SENDMAILCONFIG 8 21-Jan-1997
+.SH NAME
+sendmailconfig \- configure sendmail for Debian systems
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+sendmailconfig [--no-reload]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B sendmailconfig
+is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian
+systems.
+.PP
+In the simplest case, you may run this program to (re)configure sendmail for
+your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
+in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to
+the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
+.PP
+For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before
+generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of
+.B sendmailconfig
+will preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file.
+.PP
+Normally
+.B sendmailconfig
+will ask if you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its
+configuration. The --no-reload option will avoid this question.
