I found this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NoMTA which tells me that MTA is mail transport agent. I have been using postfix and sendmail for many many years, and until today I didn't know that they were called MTA. It shouldn't be too hard to give a little definition (3 words) or just copy and paste a link. We have new contributors every day and they didn't participate in previous discussions. There is no need to isolate them. Plus, people like me are bad with memorizing letters, or giving them meanings unless they form proper words. Gosh, ask me what MTA is in 2 months, and you will be surprised. :) References are good. Always.
