I think that MDA is an other name for MTA.

No, they are distinct concepts. The confusion comes because they are closely tied together and in some cases may even be different instances of the same application. Sendmail used to come with an MDA called "deliver" which was so closely tied to the app that most mail admins didn't even realise it was there or that they were using it (unledd they examined sendmail.cf), but being aware of the ability to use different MDAs can be very very useful indeed.
