Just out of curiosity what is MTA short for?
Mail Transfer Agent.
Email has a whole bunch of similar acronyms to describe the
various parts of the flow of email. You compose in an MUA (Mail
User Agent), which hands it so an MSA (Mail Submission Agent -
usually quite similar to an MTA, but configured to accept messages
from trusted clients), which passes it on to the MTA (Mail
Transfer Agent - SMTP is built around the idea of passing a
message from hand-to-hand to someone nearer. A message may pass
through several MTAs as it travels, and each one may hold onto it
for an arbitrary duration for scanning, batch delivery and so on).
When the mail arrives at its destination the MTA passes the
message to an MDA (Mail Delivery Agent, which has the job of
filing the message into some sort of storage). Finally, the end
users MUA will pick up the message from the storage.

Hello Debian Users.
Why Debian does't have a switchable MTA mechanism
to allow install multiple MTAs at the same time?
Fedora, Centos etc. allow users to install
multiple MTAs at the same time.
There's a "alternatives --config mta" command
to allow to choose between alternative MTA.
