Upon receiving a message from a Mail User Agent or another \MTA, [...] it [...] delivers it to any local addressees and/or forwards it to other remote \MTA{}s (routing) for delivery to remote recipients. 1.13 -\citeweb{website:thefreedictionary} 1.14 +\hfill\citeweb{website:thefreedictionary} 1.15 \end{quote} 1.16 1.17 Common to all \MTA{}s is the transport of mail to recipients; this is the actual job. Besides this similarity, \MTA{}s can be very different. Some of them have \NAME{POP3} and/or \NAME{IMAP} servers included. Some can fetch mails through these protocols. Others have have all features you can think of. And maybe there are some that do nothing else but transporting email.
