-DMA Mail Agent Utilities
+The DragonFly Mail Agent (dma) is a lightweight mail transport agent intended
+for home and office use. dma can accept mail from local users and deliver it
+either locally or remotely (via SMTP). dma can be configured to route remote
+mail via an SMTP smart host, optionally using STARTTLS and/or authentication.
+
+dma does not implement an SMTP server and cannot receive mail from remote
+systems, nor act as a mail exchanger for other hosts. If an SMTP server
+is required, or when more advanced mail routing is needed, consider using
+the $PKG_NAME_PREFIX-sendmail package instead.

+The sendmail Mail Filter API (Milter) is designed to allow third-party

-Sendmail Utilities
+The sendmail mail transport agent allows the system to send and receive mail
+for both local and remote users. sendmail can also act as a mail exchanger
+for other hosts, and has a flexible configuration format that can be used to
+rewrite, filter or otherwise process mail before delivering it.
+
+sendmail supports multiple mail transport protocols, including Internet SMTP,
+LMTP, UUCP and DECnet. Support for protocols other than SMTP and LMTP needs
+third-party software not shipped with the base system.
+
+When the full functionality of sendmail is not required, consider using the
+$PKG_NAME_PREFIX-dma package instead, a lightweight MTA which can send (but
+not receive) mail over SMTP.
