Deep difference. Our mail-transport-agents are able to behave as daemon,
listening on 25 port. msmtp doesn't, and it's the same for nail. Do you
think that nail could be an MTA? Do you think that any evolution of
mail(1) could be seen as an MTA, only because is able to "speak" smtp?

They are two different projects with different targets.

Do you know about a correct way to have a conversation with people?
I don't like your attitude, I have simply exposed my idea about that
program, reading its features. That's all.
And I don't think that the real point of discussion could be the use of
a single word. I thought we were trying to "understand" msmtp. I don't
see any problems to change one word in long description of a debian
package.
