-At one time, the only Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) software easily available
-was sendmail(8). As a result of this, most Mail User Agents (MUAs) such
-as mail(1) had the path and calling conventions expected by sendmail(8)
-compiled in.
-
-Times have changed, however. On a modern NetBSD system, the administra-
-tor may wish to use one of several available MTAs.
-
-It would be difficult to modify all MUA software typically available on a
-system, so most of the authors of alternative MTAs have written their
-front end message submission programs so that they use the same calling
-conventions as sendmail(8) and may be put into place instead of
-sendmail(8) in /usr/sbin/sendmail.
