Thread: mail and postfix
hi,
little confused 2 terms:mail ans postfix , happy if me out.
mail command in ubuntu (and other unix systems) using postfix?
perhaps not exact, generically, it's client vs. server
"mail" client, "postfix" server.
"mail user agent" or "email client" provides user interface.

examples of mua include "mail" (from bsd-mailx package) or "mutt" or "thunderbird" or "evolution".
"message transfer agent" provides mail send/receive server.

examples of mta include "postfix" , "exim4".
