What is MDA?
Rating:
MDA stands for Mail Delivery Agent. It is a program that accepts incoming mails from a Message Transfer Agent (MTA). Depending upon the recipient's address mentioned in an e-mail, the MDA either directs the e-mail to the recipient's inbox (if the address mentioned is local to the system) or redirects it to an SMTP server (if the address is on a remote server). A Mail Delivery Agent cannot be called a Message Transfer Agent (MTA) if it does not support SMTP.
