=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The B<lmtp2nntp> program reads mail from stdin and posts it to one or more
-newsgroups using NNTP. It delivers the message immediately or fails.
-If queuing is desired it can operate as a LMTP server.
+The B<lmtp2nntp> program is a LMTP service which is usually invoked by a MTA.
+Input messages get their headers slightly reformatted to match network news
+article format. The article is then posted or fed into a NNTP service.
+Delivery must take place immediately or the transaction fails. A LMTP service
+relies on the queuing capabilities of its MTA. To support this, the program
+returns proper delivery status notification which indicates successful
+completed action, persistent transient failure or permanent failure.
The following options are available:
