-A. TMDA utilizes qmail's "special features" extensively and so it
-   would take much more work to replicate TMDA's functionality on
-   another MTA such as Sendmail.  For example:
-
-   tmda-inject uses per-user masquerading to tag outgoing mail with
-   the proper address.  See "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" under
-   <http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-inject.html>
-
-   tmda-filter uses qmail-specific exit codes to control whether the
-   message is accepted, deferred, bounced, etc.  See "EXIT CODES"
-   under <http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-command.html>
-
-   qmail-local supplies several useful environment variables to
-   tmda-filter so that it knows whether the message was sent to a
-   'dated' address, a 'sender' address, or neither.  See "ENVIRONMENT
-   VARIABLES" under <http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-command.html>
+   TMDA currently utilizes qmail's "special features" extensively and
+   so it would take additional work to replicate much of TMDA's

+   However, the author is interested in supporting alternative MTAs,

 Q. Can you clarify the syntax for the whitelist?  I'd like any

 A. In addition to explicit e-mail addresses, TMDA supports matching
