+.Dt MAILER.CONF 5
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mailer.conf
+.Nd configuration file for
+.Xr mailwrapper 8 .
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Pp
+The file
+.Pa /etc/mailer.conf
+contains a series of pairs. The first member of each pair is the name
+of a program invoking
+.Xr mailwrapper 8
+which is typically a symbolic link to
+.Pa /usr/sbin/sendmail .
+(On a typical system,
+.Xr newaliases 1
+and
+.Xr mailq 1
+would be set up this way.)
+The second member of each pair is the name of the program to
+actually execute when the first name is invoked. The file may also
+contain comments, denoted by a # mark in the first column of any line.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following is an example of how to set up an
+.Nm
+for traditional sendmail invocation behavior.
+.Bd -literal
+# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
+sendmail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
+send-mail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
+mailq /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
+newaliases /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This example shows how to invoke the fictitious "newmail" program in
+place of sendmail.
+.Bd -literal
+# Emulate sendmail using postfix
+sendmail /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail
+send-mail /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail
+mailq /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail
+newaliases /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail
+.Ed
+.Sh FILES
+/etc/mailer.conf
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mail 1 ,
+.Xr mailq 1 ,
+.Xr mailwrapper 8 ,
+.Xr newaliases 1 ,
+.Xr sendmail 8 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+.Nm
+appeared in
+.Nx 1.4 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+Perry E. Metzger <perry@piermont.com>
+.Sh BUGS
+The entire reason this program exists is a crock. Instead, a command
+for how to submit mail should be standardized, and all the "behave
+differently if invoked with a different name" behavior of things like
+.Xr mailq 1
+should go away.
