 @cindex email
 The @code{(gnu services mail)} module provides Guix service definitions
-for mail services.  Currently the only implemented service is Dovecot,
-an IMAP, POP3, and LMTP server.
+for email services: IMAP, POP3, and LMTP servers, as well as mail
+transport agents (MTAs).  Lots of acronyms!  These services are detailed
+in the subsections below.
 
-Guix does not yet have a mail transfer agent (MTA), although for some
-lightweight purposes the @code{esmtp} relay-only MTA may suffice.  Help
-is needed to properly integrate a full MTA, such as Postfix.  Patches
-welcome!
