 This software is OSI Certified Open Source Software.
 OSI Certified is a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative.
 
-TMDA is an OSI certified software application designed to
-significantly reduce the amount of SPAM/UCE (junk-mail) you receive.
-TMDA combines a "whitelist" (for known/trusted senders), a "blacklist"
-(for undesired senders), and a cryptographically enhanced confirmation
-system (for unknown, but legitimate senders).
+TMDA is an open source software application designed to significantly
+reduce the amount of SPAM (Internet junk-mail) you receive.  TMDA
+strives to be more effective, yet less time-consuming than traditional
+SPAM filters.  TMDA can also be used as a general purpose local mail
+delivery agent to filter, sort, deliver and dispose of incoming mail.
+                                                   
+The technical countermeasures used by TMDA to thwart SPAM include:
+
+* whitelists: accept mail from known, trusted senders.
+
+* blacklists: refuse mail from undesired senders.
+
+* challenge/response: allows unknown senders which aren't on the
+  whitelist or blacklist the chance to confirm that their message is
+  legitimate (non-SPAM).
+
+* tagged addresses: special-purpose e-mail addresses such as
+  time-dependent addresses, or addresses which only accept certain
+  kinds of communication.  These increase the transparency of TMDA for
+  unknown senders by allowing them to safely circumvent the
+  challenge/response system.
