-Lindenii maild is a simple SMTP server.
+**Note: This project is in early development.**
+
+Lindenii maild is an email server.
+
+Contemporary email servers like [Postfix](http://www.postfix.org/) and
+[OpenSMTPD](https://www.opensmtpd.org/) generally work, but setups become
+rather complex when other necessary software such as
+[Dovecot](https://www.dovecot.org/) and [OpenDKIM](http://www.opendkim.org/).
+It is also notoriously difficult to configure these servers.
+
+Lindenii maild is an email server designed for the Lindenii project. It
+implements basic functionality for a working email server in one software
+package.
+
+We attempt to implement:
+* SMTP to send and receive mail
+* IMAP to let users interact with mailboxes
+* DKIM, SPF, and DMARC authentication
+* Basic spam filtering
+* A UNIX domain socket protocol for integration with mailing list and forge
