are familiar with these terms.  To wit:

MTA = Message Transfer Agent (classic mail servers, e.g., exim, sendmail, 
etc.)
MTS = Message Transfer System (the entire infrastructure)
MS  = Message Store (a post office MTA, ok?)
MUA = Mail User Agent (your typical end-user mail software, e.g. Eudora, 
Outlook, Hotmail web app, etc.)

Don't forget:

MSA = Message Submission Agent (typically runs on port 587)
