+ (description
+ "libESMTP is an @acronym{SMTP, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol} client that
+manages posting (or submission of) electronic mail via a preconfigured
+@acronym{MTA, Mail Transport Agent}.
+
+It may be used as part of a @acronym{MUA, Mail User Agent}, or other program
+that must be able to post electronic mail where mail functionality may not be
+that program's primary purpose.
+
+libESMTP's high-level API shields developers from the complexity of SMTP. It
+transparently handles many SMTP extensions including authentication,
+@acronym{TLS, Transport-Level Security}, and PIPELINING for performance. Even
+without a pipelining server, libESMTP offers much better performance than would
+be expected from a simple client.")
