well, i know these may be very basic..but i don't know..although i have implemented dhcp- on linux, mail server...(not yet on linux) !! but i need to know some terms..in order to understand documentation..

what is :

1. dhcp realy agent and why its necessary ?

2. what about mail delivery agent and mail transport agent ? (I guess mail transfer agent "MTA" is the mail server itself but what is mail delivery agent ?)
