+.Os clamsmtp 
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm clamsmtpd.conf
+.Nd the configuration file for 
+.Xr clamsmtpd 8
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Xr clamsmtpd 8
+reads a configuration file when starting up. The location of the file is dependent
+on how you compiled clamsmtp but it should usually be in either the
+.Pa /usr/local/etc/
+or 
+.Pa /etc/
+directories. If 
+.Xr clamsmtpd 8
+does not find it's configuration file it'll print a warning when it starts up along
+with the location it's expecting to find it in. You can also specify a different 
+location for a config file by passing the 
+.Fl f
+argument to 
+.Xr clamsmtpd 8
+.Pp
+The settings are specified one per line. The setting names comes first, followed
+by a colon and then the value. Comments start with the '#' character on a line 
+of their own. Whitespace is ignored at the beginning of line, end of line and 
+around the colons. 
+.Pp
+A sample configuration file can be found in the 
+.Pa doc/
+directory of the clamsmtp distribution.
+.Sh SETTINGS
+The various settings are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Ar Bounce
+When this flag is set 
+.Xr clamsmtpd 8
+actively rejects messages with viruses. This may cause the sender to receive
+a message back notifying them of the virus. In most cases this is not a good
+idea since many viruses spoof sender addresses. 
+[ Default: off ]
+.It Ar ClamAddress
+Specifies the address to connect to 
+.Xr clamd 8
+on. See syntax of addresses below. 
+[ Default:  
+.Pa /var/run/clamav/clamd

+The address and port to listen for SMTP connections on. See syntax of 
+addresses below. 
+[ Default: port 10025 on all local IP addresses ] 
+.It Ar Quarantine
+Quarantine files that contain viruses by leaving them in the
+.Ar TempDirectory
+directory. The file names look like this (where X is a random 
+character or number):
+.Pa virus.XXXXXX
+[ Default: off ] 
+.It Ar MaxConnections
+Specifies the maximum number of connections to accept at once. 
+[ Default: 64 ]
+.It Ar PidFile
+This option causes 
+.Xr clamsmtpd 8
+to write a file with the daemon's process id, which can be used to stop the 
+daemon.
+[ Optional ]
+.It Ar ScanHeader
+A header to add to scanned messages. Put an empty value to supress adding
+a header. 
+[ Default: 'X-AV-Checked: ClamAV using ClamSMTP' ]
+.It Ar OutAddress
+The address of the SMTP server to send email to once it's been scanned. See 
+syntax of addreses below. 
+[ Required ]
+.It TempDirectory
+The directory to write temp files too. This directory needs to be 
+accessible to both 
+.Xr clamd 8
+and 
+.Xr clamsmtpd 8
+[ Default:
+.Pa /tmp
+]
+.It Ar TimeOut
+The number of seconds to wait while reading data from network connections.
