 | | A mail transfer agent or MTA (also commonly called mail server) is a computer program or software agent which transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another. | | | The MTA works behind the scenes, while the user usually interacts with another program, the mail user agent (MUA), which contacts an MTA for actual delivery of the mail. | | | The delivery of email to a user's mailbox is typically done by a mail delivery agent (MDA); many MTAs have basic MDA functionality built in, but a dedicated MDA like procmail can be used if a more sophisticated tool is needed. |
