Yes. This is quite reasonable. To a first order approximation, `upas` is a
mail transfer agent, for moving mail around across a network (or just into
a mailbox on a local system) while Acme provides a mail client (a "mail
user agent") based on a filesystem.
There used to be, and probably still is, another mail client just called
'mail' that could be used to read and send mail, but that is also
independent of upas.
Hope that helps.
