An MTA has to provide certain things, or else

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 -

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)
Just out of curiosity what is MTA short for?

I run a VPS, for study purpose to switch between MTAs not having
to remove one to get the other, I want to keep them installed at the

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.
