	O'Reilly Media -- Bookstore: Exim: The Mail Transfer Agent
		Exim is the default mail transport agent installed on some Linux systems; it runs on many versions of Unix and is suitable for any TCP/IP network with any combination of hosts and end-user mail software.

	The Linux Electronic Mail Administrator HOWTO: Choosing a Mail Transport Agent
		Mail transport agents are the software that transfers mail from your local system to remote systems.
		It is very seldom necessary to mess with or replace your MTA on a modern Linux, and you're better off not fixing what isn't broken.
		This is convenient for mail user agents, which often assume they are talking to sendmail.

	Mail transfer agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mail transfer agent or MTA (also called a mail server, or a mail exchange server in the context of the Domain Name System) is a computer program or software agent which transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another.
		It receives messages from another MTA (relaying), a mail submission agent (MSA) that itself got the mail from a mail user agent (MUA) or directly from an MUA, thus acting as an MSA itself.
		The delivery of email to a user's mailbox typically takes place via a mail delivery agent (MDA); many MTAs have basic MDA functionality built in, but a dedicated MDA like procmail can provide more sophistication.

	Mail Transport Agent Comparison
		MTA deployment is something which can be measured with even greater precision than which web servers are in use because every site must register its mail exchanger in the global DNS.
		All of them can handle large amounts of mail; can interact with databases in many formats; have an extensive knowledge of the many SMTP variants in use; are not trivially exploitable; have the source code available in a free manner; have third-party documentation available, etc etc. There are some assumptions implicit in what follows.
		Sendmail is the most popular MTA and is reckoned by many authorities to deliver a bit less than half of all Internet email.

	Microsoft Exchange and other mail servers / mail transport agents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		SendMail is the de facto standard mail transport agent; if you've sent or received more than a few e-mail messages on the internet, SendMail has almost certainly handled some of them.
		The Eudora Internet Mail Server is a popular, easy-to-use-and-install, but full-featured server for Mac OS systems (68030 or later), which is now back in the hands of its original developer.
		Avirt Mail is a nice option for small offices or home offices with just a intermittent dial-up connection to the internet, little hardware to work with, and limited computer expertise.

	Using International Characters in Internet Mail
		Historically, Internet mail software has not kept up with the technologies available to it for making mail useful to all end users, regardless of the languages they speak and the kinds of characters they use.
		The MTA that is responsible for receiving messages for the recipient accepts messages and saves them in a message store that the recipient has access to.
		Mail recipients expect to receive mail that they can view (although most people have gotten used to getting some messages that they cannot view due to charsets that their viewing program does not handle).

	Mail transport tools
		When you sent a mail message, it would be dumped into a spool directory; periodically, a mail daemon would run and for each spooled message, identify the recipient, lock their mailbox (to stop other processes writing to it), and append the new message to it.
		Sendmail is a mail transport agent: it runs as a daemon and you don't normally have anything to do with it (as a user).
		The MH mail tools are extremely interesting because their approach to email is radically different from the monolithic mailbox approach adopted by tools like Pine or Mutt (that is: you have a mailbox file, and need a special mail tool to read it).

	Electronic Mail.
		Today, if mail is broken on our machines, the secretaries are the first to complain; almost all departmental communication is done by electronic mail rather than by telephone, memos, or discussions.
		The transport agent is responsible for actually receiving and delivering messages.
		Configuration of sendmail is somewhat of a "Black Art." It is a very complex mail delivery agent that is designed to handle several mail transport mechanisms, address format translations, and delivery options.

	Mail Headers, MIME, HTML, and ASCII Text
		However, this header is used in USENET News mail transport (See RFC0976) to indicate the path through which an article has gone when transferred to a new host.
		Some MTAs queue mail; the internal message identifier that is assigned to the message may be noted, using the "id" parameter.
		For example, when a copy of mail is sent to the member of a mailing list, this parameter may be used to record the original address that was used to specify the list.

	Exim Mail Transport Agent
		The router hands the mail to a transport, which typically sends it to a queue directory and sends it in a SMTP transmission.
		The transport also keeps the message in the queue if the remote host refuses the mail initially or the host is unavailable.
		In the balance, for my servers, I was most interested in a Mail Transport Agent that wouldn't drive me up the wall when I wanted to make changes, since I'm a bear with little brain (or memory for what I did six months ago when I last changed something).

	sendmail(8) - an electronic mail transport agent
		When it reaches a limit, the mail is returned with an error message, the victim of an aliasing loop.
		If the text of the message is not mailed back by modes ‘m’ or ‘w’ and if the sender is local to this machine, a copy of the message is appended to the file
		In aliases, the first character of a name may be a vertical bar to cause interpretation of the rest of the name as a command to pipe the mail to.

	Configuring Netscape Mail on Unix (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Should the User Agent want to remove messages from that file, rather than just look at them, there is a possibility of a collision between the Transport Agent and the User Agent: if both of them are writing to the file at the same time, the file could become corrupted, and messages could be lost.
		Note that the ``Keep Mail on Server'' preference is not consulted when movemail is used; it is a POP3-only option, intended to ease the use of a secondary computer, for example, a laptop or home machine, in a situation where it is desirable to store most mail on another, primary machine.
		Our goal is for Netscape Mail, in its out-of-the-box configuration, to be able to safely retrieve mail from the mail spool on all systems on which it runs.

		In systems where the Mail Transport Agent (MTA) does final delivery (such as with traditional UNIX mail systems) it is reasonable to sort when the MTA deposits mail into the user's mailbox.
		Mail traffic for most users has been increasing due both to increased usage of e-mail, the emergence of unsolicited email as a form of advertising, and increased usage of mailing lists.
		As such, Sieve is intended as a first-stage building block for mail filters, although one that in and of itself provides significant functionality for a large number of possible uses.

		The process of actually writing the message into the destination mail directory is the last step in the process.
		Prior to that, the message is held in a queue format that preserves information like the envelope, the number of retries and so on.

		If filter can't queue your mail, it will exit with an exit status of 75, that status being recognized by "sendmail" as a "deliver later on" hint, in which case the mail message will safely wait in sendmail's queue.

		Pegasus Mail is a tool for quality communication, and we regard indiscriminate mass-mailing as an antisocial, irresponsible abuse of what we believe is our generosity in providing a service to the broader Internet community.

	qmail: the Internet's MTA of choice
		Mail delivery is critical for users; it cannot be turned off, so it must be completely secure.
		Local mailing lists: When qmail is delivering a message to a mailbox, it physically writes the message to disk before it announces success---that way, mail doesn't get lost if the power goes out.
		Mailing lists with remote recipients: qmail uses the same delivery strategy that makes LSOFT's LSMTP so fast for outgoing mailing lists---you choose how many parallel SMTP connections you want to run, and qmail runs exactly that many.
