+ <para>A Message Transport Agent is used to control the flow of email
+ on a system. Many unix based systems use
+ <ulink url="http://www.sendmail.org">sendmail</ulink> which is what
+ Bugzilla expects to find by default at <filename>/usr/sbin/sendmail</filename>.
+ Many other MTA's will work, but they all require that the
+ <option>sendmailnow</option> param be set to <literal>on</literal>.
