+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<P>
+Sendmail's Content Management API (milter) provides third-party
+programs to access mail messages as they are being processed by the
+Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), allowing them to examine and modify message
+content and meta-information. Filtering policies implemented by
+Milter-conformant filters may then be centrally configured and
+composed in an end-user's MTA configuration file.
+
+<p>
+Possible uses for filters include spam rejection, virus
+filtering, and content control. In general, Milter seeks to address
+site-wide filtering concerns in a scalable way. Individual users' mail
+filtering needs (e.g. sorting messages by subject) are left to
+client-level programs such as <a href="http://www.procmail.org">Procmail</a>.
+
+<P>
+This document is a technical introduction intended for those
+interested in developing Milter filters. It includes:
+<ul>
+<li>A description of Milter's design goals.
+
+<li>An explanation of Milter application architecture, including
+interactions between the support library and user code, and between
+filters and the MTA.
+
+<li>A specification of the C application programming interface.
+<li>An example of a simple Milter filter.
+</ul>
