Especially is such usage easy to set up because \masqmail\ was designed for that. +Many \MTA{}s were not designed for such usage as the following two example show: ``Exim is designed for use on a network where most messages can be delivered at the first attempt.'' \cite[page~30]{hazel01}. ``qmail was designed for well-connected hosts: those with high-speed, always-on network connectivity.'' \cite[page9]{sill02}. Additionally does \masqmail\ make it easy to run an \MTA\ on workstations or notebooks. There is no need to do complex configuration or to be a mail server expert. Only a handful of options need to be set; the host name, the local networks, and one route for relaying are sufficient in most times. %fixme: is that true?
