However, a logically separate MFA (Mail Filtering Agent) would perhaps
be plausible - SpamAssassin run in "spamd" mode might be an example of
this role. The MFA might be attached to the MTA, or be a plugin to the
MUA, or even reside on a separate server (potentially run by the ISP or
a third party) and be called by the MUA.
MFA = instance of "policy enforcement component" surely?
I don't think it makes a difference where exactly the policy enforcement
component resides - in the MTA itself or as another system. As per charter:
"Policy Enforcement Component: This involves subsystems within the
communication system that enforce the policy. THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK MAY
INVOLVE MULTIPLE SUBSYSTEMS WITHIN THE POLICY ENFORCEMENT COMPONENT.
"
No reason to complicate it by including another acronym.
