This chapter introduces the concept of the MTA and discusses one particular MTA, qmail:
First, we'll examine the role of the MTA in the Internet e-mail infrastructure.
Next, we'll look at qmail—what it does and why you might want to use it.
qmail's main design goals were security, reliability, performance, and simplicity. We'll see how qmail's creator was able to achieve these goals.
We'll also compare qmail to other popular Unix MTAs such as Sendmail, Postfix, Courier, and Exim.
Next, we'll look at qmail's features, history, architecture, and distribution license.
Finally, we'll list various sources of information on qmail such as documentation, Web sites, and mailing-list archives. We'll also cover qmail support channels: mailing lists and hired consultants.
