 Common to them is their focus on transferring email, while being able to act as \name{smart host}s. Their variety ranges from ones mostly restricted to mail transfer (e.g.\ \qmail) to others having interfaces for adding further mail processing modules (e.g.\ \postfix). This group covers everything in between the other two groups.

+Now, where does \masqmail\ fit in? It is not groupware nor a simple forwarder, thus it belongs to the ``real \MTA{}s''. Additionally it is Free Software and is intended to be sendmail-compatible. This makes it similar to \sendmail, \exim, \qmail, and \postfix. \masqmail\ is intended to be a replacement for those \MTA{}s.
+
+But: It was not designed to be used as a general replacement for them (see: section \ref{sec:masqmail-target-field}). In fact, \masqmail\ is only a replacement \emph{in some situations}. This primary excludes working in an untrusted environment.
