MTA = Mail Transfer Agent. What do _you_ think it means? :-)
MUA = Mail User Agent. Same question. :-)
MTA's: Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, ...
MUA's: Evolution, Thunderbird, mutt, elm, mail/mailx, pine, ...
I'm not a fetchmail user, but it's a program to retrieve mail, so it
doesn't sound like a MTA to me. But maybe it has some MTA capabilities,
so feel free to correct me.
