While switching from sendmail to smtpd (thanks!),
I noticed that the smtpctl(8) manpage is not entirely
complete and accurate.

It says 'resume local', but it needs to be 'resume mda'
(as in the corresponding 'pause mda'). Similarly for 
outgoing/mta and incomming/smtp. See diff bellow.

Also, it doesn't documment the 'monitor' and 'stop' commands.
I don't know what 'smtpctl monitor' does (just sits there for me),
and what 'smtpctl stop' does; the smtpd processes are still there,
and any mail attempt fails with
"send-mail: server disallowed submission request".
