From: Joan Hsieh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Chris, you got me, what MTA stand for?
Mail Transfer Agent, its the program that uses SMTP to send or recieve mail. Examples:
Sendmail Courier Postfix Exim qmail MS Exchange
Don't confuse this with an MUA (mail user agent) which allows you to compose and read email without using telnet manually. Examples:
Mutt Pine Mozilla Outlook
If you're getting smtp errors, perhaps your MTA is misconfigured, unavailable, overloaded, etc. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
