Not that I know of. > MUA, MTA, LDA, oh my! MUA == ``Mail User Agent''. What you use to read your mail (e.g, mutt, Pine, Gnus, Eudora). MTA == ``Mail Transfer Agent, or Mail Transport Agent''. What gets the message from point A to point B across the network (e.g, Sendmail, qmail, Exim, Postfix). LDA == ``Local Delivery Agent''. What handles getting your message delivered once your local MTA has accepted it (e.g, maildrop, procmail, TMDA). Most MTAs also have their own simple LDAs built-in. > I wonder if there have been any performance comparisons done.

Comparisons between TMDA and filtering LDAs, or comparisons between filtering LDAs? _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
