In common parlance, we have the MTA, the LDA, and the MUA, but we don't

really the LDA?
Well, I call it "the mail spool" in all my design documents...
'Mail spool' is usually used to indicate storage of outgoing messages;
or incoming messages that are awaiting relay or final delivery.  I believe
that 'mail store' is the more accurate term.
