Mail Transfer Agent. Email has a whole bunch of similar acronyms to describe the various parts of the flow of email. You compose in an MUA (Mail User Agent), which hands it so an MSA (Mail Submission Agent - usually quite similar to an MTA, but configured to accept messages from trusted clients), which passes it on to the MTA (Mail Transfer Agent - SMTP is built around the idea of passing a message from hand-to-hand to someone nearer. A message may pass through several MTAs as it travels, and each one may hold onto it for an arbitrary duration for scanning, batch delivery and so on). When the mail arrives at its destination the MTA passes the message to an MDA (Mail Delivery Agent, which has the job of filing the message into some sort of storage). Finally, the end users MUA will pick up the message from the storage. > > Kevin Shell <ksh...@gmx.com <mailto:ksh...@gmx.com>>, 16 Şub 2021 Sal, > 11:57 tarihinde şunu yazdı: > > Hello Debian Users. > > Why Debian does't have a switchable MTA mechanism > to allow install multiple MTAs at the same time? > > Fedora, Centos etc. allow users to install > multiple MTAs at the same time. > There's a "alternatives --config mta" command > to allow to choose between alternative MTA. > > -- > kevin >
