==Benefits==
Separation of the [[Mail transfer agent|MTA]] and MSA functions produces several benefits
One benefit is that an MSA, since it is interacting directly with the author's MUA, can correct minor errors in a message's format (such as a missing ''Date'', ''[[Message-ID]]'', ''To'' fields, or an address with a missing ___domain name) and/or immediately report an error to the author so that it can be corrected before it is sent to any of the recipients. An MTA accepting a message from another site cannot reliably make those kinds of corrections, and any error reports generated by such an MTA will reach the author (if at all) only after the message has already been sent.
