Thank you for sharing your find Frank.

The DragonFly BSD MTA looks interesting.  I'll have to check it out. 
Especially if it's small and intended for local delivery and / or 
getting messages off of box all the while without exposing an SMTP port.

Just for the record and completeness’ sake: I just cleaned out old browser
tabs (many months old) and from one of them I found out that the program was
actually called dma -- the DragonFly BSD mail transport agent, not mda. The
tab still stemmed from my last attempt at this whole topic.
