    2.11 +\sendmail\ is the most popular \mta.
    2.12 +Since it was one of the first \MTA{}s and was shipped by many vendors of \unix\ systems.
    2.13 +
    2.14 +The program was written by Eric Allman as the successor of his program \name{delivermail}.
    2.15 +\sendmail\ was first released with \NAME{BSD} 4.1c in 1983.
    2.16 +Allman was not the only one working on the program.
    2.17 +Other people developed own versions of it and a variety of flavors came up, especially in the late eighties when Allman was inactive.
    2.18 +
    2.19 +\sendmail\ is focused on transfering mails between different protocols and networks, this lead to a very flexible (though complex) configuration.
    2.20 +
    2.21 +The latest version is 8.14.3 from May 2008.
    2.22 +Further development will go into the project \name{MeTA1} which succeeds \sendmail.
    2.23 +
    2.24 +More information can be found on the \sendmail\ homepage \citeweb{sendmail:homepage} and on \citeweb{wikipedia:sendmail} and \citeweb{jdebp}.

    2.31 +\name{qmail} is seen by its community as ``a modern SMTP server which makes sendmail obsolete''.
    2.32 +It was written by Daniel~J.\ Bernstein starting in 1995.
    2.33 +His primary goal was to create a secure \MTA\ to replace the popular, but vulnerable, \sendmail.
    2.34 +
    2.35 +\name{qmail} first introduced may innovative concepts in \mta\ design and is generally seen as the first security-aware \MTA\ developed.
    2.36 +
    2.37 +Since November 2007, \name{qmail} is released in the \name{public domain} which makes it \freesw.
    2.38 +The latest release is 1.03 from July 1998.
