+.TH s/qmail: qmail-badloadertypes 8
+
+.SH "NAME"
+qmail-badloadertypes \- prepare badloadertypes for qmail-smtpd
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B qmail-badloadertypes
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B qmail-badloadertypes
+reads the instructions in
+.B SQMAIL/control/badloadertypes
+and writes them into
+.B SQMAIL/control/badloadertypes.cdb
+in a binary format suited
+for quick access by
+.BR qmail-smtpd .
+
+If there is a problem with
+.BR control/badloadertypes ,
+.B qmail-badloadertypes
+complains and leaves
+.B control/badloadertypes.cdb
+alone.
+
+.B qmail-badloadertypes
+ensures that
+.B SQMAIL/control/badloadertypes.cdb
+is updated atomically,
+so
+.B qmail-smtpd
+never has to wait for
+.B qmail-badloadertypes
+to finish.
+However,
+.B qmail-badloadertypes
+makes no attempt to protect against two simultaneous updates of
+.BR control/badloadertypes.cdb .
+For convenience,
+.B qmail-badloadertypes
+allows comments (lines starting with '#') and 
+copies only the significant leading characters to
+.BR control/badloadertypes.cdb .
+
+The binary
+.B control/badloadertypes.cdb
+format is portable across machines.
