Ideally, minting happens at the MUA.  But for a slow-moving enterprise, 
an MTA-based solution may be far easier to implement in the short term. 
  It should be noted that an MTA-based solution is only feasible with a 
zero-UI design.

A very large organisation may well find it cheaper and easier to put in 
a rack of Xserves to handle stamps and signatures, than to roll out an 
MUA upgrade to every desktop to do the same job.
