>Just out of curiosity what is MTA short for?

Mail Transfer Agent.

This is a server that must be able to:
* get email message from MUA (mail user agent)
* forward/route it to the destination (or to the right direction at least)
* As last step, MTA sends message to the MDA (mail delivery agent) that
puts message directly into the user's mailbox
