The term "postfix" is computer science jargon for grammars where the
operands of an operation precede the operator. For example, "1 1 +" is
the postfix version of "1 + 1". (Our normal grammar, where the
operator is between the operands, is called "infix".)

Well, "post" is "mail", and "fix", well, I guess that means it fixes
mail problems (namely sendmail :-).
I think Postfix is as good a name for an MTA as any.
