+\sendmail\ is the most popular \mta.
+Since it was one of the first \MTA{}s and was shipped by many vendors of \unix\ systems.
+
+The program was written by Eric Allman as the successor of his program \name{delivermail}.
+\sendmail\ was first released with \NAME{BSD} 4.1c in 1983.
+Allman was not the only one working on the program.
+Other people developed own versions of it and a variety of flavors came up, especially in the late eighties when Allman was inactive.
+
+\sendmail\ is focused on transfering mails between different protocols and networks, this lead to a very flexible (though complex) configuration.
+
+The latest version is 8.14.3 from May 2008.
+Further development will go into the project \name{MeTA1} which succeeds \sendmail.
+
+More information can be found on the \sendmail\ homepage \citeweb{sendmail:homepage} and on \citeweb{wikipedia:sendmail} and \citeweb{jdebp}.

+\name{qmail} is seen by its community as ``a modern SMTP server which makes sendmail obsolete''.
+It was written by Daniel~J.\ Bernstein starting in 1995.
+His primary goal was to create a secure \MTA\ to replace the popular, but vulnerable, \sendmail.
+
+\name{qmail} first introduced may innovative concepts in \mta\ design and is generally seen as the first security-aware \MTA\ developed.
+
+Since November 2007, \name{qmail} is released in the \name{public domain} which makes it \freesw.
+The latest release is 1.03 from July 1998.
+
+The programs homepages are \citeweb{qmail:homepage1} and \citeweb{qmail:homepage2}. Further information about \name{qmail} is available on \citeweb{lifewithqmail}, \citeweb{wikipedia:qmail} and \citeweb{jdebp}.
