        MUA = Mail User Agent (ca pine, mutt, mail, elm, kmail etc.)
        MTA = Mail Transfer Agent (ca {send,q}mail, postfix, exim etc.)
        Deci, amandoi sunt agenti. Secreti, se pare...
        In ce sens spui ca sendmail stie POP? Eu credeam ca stie SMTP,
POP-ul e in seama lui fetchmail si compania.
