As another person said, that is mostly just a copy of the man pages,
which is incredibly difficult to use when the question being asked is
"how do I get the MTA to do this...". Which man page is the answer
likely to be in? There's nothing to show you that, for example, all
outbound mail passes through submit, so the submit man page is where
you look for documentation on configuration of outbound mail.
I don't have time to sort through the code to figure out which module
calls what, to then figure out which module will have the configuration
option I need. This is supposed to be a coherent package; the
documentation should be laid out in a coherent way. (For example, in
reading the courier(1) man page this evening, it looks like there are
at least three places you need to look to figure out the configuration
of SMTP AUTH.)
