The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Paul Menzel <address@concealed>]

Dear list,


on [1] the process for message distribution is explained. I have one
question regarding the graphic. The cross point to the outgoing MTAs is
in the box representing the computer sympa.pl runs on? So a simple
outgoing MTA needs to be running on this server which relays messages to
a relay host? This is also what point 8 says. 

        Smart hosts. The outgoing MTA agent is called by Sympa in order
        to distribute messages. This MTA can be configured to relay any
        message to a smart host. This simple configuration will make
        SMTP process running on the same host as sympa.pl really simple
        and fast. The smart host can be a cluster of servers using round
        robin DNS.

So to make it more clear should a small box labeled outgoing MTA be
inside the gray box and the boxes with outgoing MTA be renamed to relay
MTA? Or do I miss something and this would not be necessary?


Thanks,

Paul
