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