Correct Answer:

E-mail is distributed via a network of e-mail servers, also known as Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs).Many MTAs are freely available for Linux, including sendmail, postfix, smail,and exim. Before the user can access his e-mail, it must be downloaded from a MTA; the service that provides this is known as a Mail Delivery Agent (MDA). Linux also provides several of these services; procmail and fetchmail are two of the most common. Finally, the user views her e-mail using a program known as a Mail User Agent (MUA). Common MUAs available for Linux include mutt, pine, printmail, elm, mail, Netscape, and Eudora.
