I attached dma man page in my ubuntu 10.04 system.
I think that it's the same of dragonflybsd.
When I install dma package in ubuntu, then the system
make /etc/dma folder with the following files:
auth.conf dma.conf virtusertable
I have two questions:
1) how can enable dma server?
2) but especially how can write message mail with dma command?

send mail with dma command.
Never used dma with Linux, so just some wild guesses ... Maybe there is
some command/file to switch from the default MTA to dma (like
/etc/mail/mailer.conf in DragonFly). This should do the trick.
Otherwise a manual symlink from /path/to/mta - /path/to/dma should also
work.

NAME
dma — DragonFly Mail Agent
SYNOPSIS
dma [-DiOt] [-A mode] [-b mode] [-f sender] [-L tag] [-o option] [-r
sender] [-q arg] [recipient ...]
DESCRIPTION
dma is a small Mail Transport Agent (MTA), designed for home and office
use. It accepts mails from locally installed Mail User Agents (MUA) and
delivers the
mails either locally or to a remote destination. Remote delivery includes
several features like TLS/SSL support and SMTP authentication.
dma is not intended as a replacement for real, big MTAs like sendmail(8)
or postfix(1). Consequently, dma does not listen on port 25 for incoming
connec‐
tions.
The options are as follows:
-A mode
-Ac acts as a compatibility option for sendmail.
-b mode
Specifying -bp will list all mails currently stored in the mail
queue. All other modes are are ignored.
-D Don't run in the background. Useful for debugging.
-f sender
Set sender address to sender.
-i Ignore dots alone on lines by themselves in incoming messages.
This should be set if you are reading data from a file.
-L tag Set the identifier used in syslog messages to the supplied tag.
This is a compatibility option for sendmail.
-O This is a compatibility option for sendmail.
-o option
Specifying -oi is synonymous to -i. All other options are ignored.
-q arg Process saved messages in the queue. The argument is required for
compatibility with sendmail, and ignored.
-r sender
Same as -f.
-t Parse the message to obtain the recipient addresses.
CONFIGURATION
dma can be configured with three config files:
· auth.conf
· dma.conf
· virtusertable
These three files are stored per default in /etc/dma.
FILE FORMAT
Every file contains parameters of the form ‘name value’. Lines containing
boolean values are set to ‘NO’ if the line is commented and to ‘YES’ if the
line is
uncommented. Empty lines or lines beginning with a ‘#’ are ignored.
Parameter names and their values are case sensitive.
PARAMETERS
auth.conf
SMTP authentication can be configured in auth.conf. Each line has the
format “user|smarthost:password”.
dma.conf
Most of the behaviour of dma can be configured in dma.conf.
SMARTHOST (string, default=mail.example.com)
If you want to send outgoing mails via a smarthost, set this
variable to your smarthosts address.
PORT (numeric, default=25)
Use this port to deliver remote emails. Only useful together with
the ‘SMARTHOST’ option, because dma will deliver all mails to this port,
regardless
of whether a smarthost is set or not.
ALIASES (string, default=/etc/aliases)
Path to the local aliases file. Just stick with the default.
SPOOLDIR (string, default=/var/spool/dma)
Path to dma's spool directory. Just stick with the default.
VIRTPATH (string, default=/etc/dma/virtusertable)
Path to the ‘virtusertable’ file.
AUTHPATH (string, default=/etc/dma/auth.conf)
Path to the ‘auth.conf’ file.
VIRTUAL (boolean, default=commented)
Comment if you want virtual user support.
SECURETRANS (boolean, default=commented)
Comment if you want TLS/SSL secured transfer.
STARTTLS (boolean, default=commented)
Comment if you want to use STARTTLS. Only useful together with
‘SECURETRANS’.
CERTFILE (string, default=empty)
Path to your SSL certificate file.
SECURE (boolean, default=commented)
Change this entry to ‘INSECURE’ to use plain text SMTP login over an
insecure connection. You have to rename this variable manually to prevent that
you
