MTA looks difficult to install because of the large number of options.
The documentation can be that helpful as you like. The documentation
is made like reference guide and not as a simple step-by-step manual
to install MTA. MTA can be used by normal users, BBS users, commercial
users and all with different combinations of only a few archives up to
several thousands of archives. Some would like comments, others don't.
I could go on for hours. The best way to start is to start with a
simple MTA.CTL. When you need more, you can add the options after you
looked into the documentation.
A simple setup looks like this (it is mine, I use MTA to convert one
or more archives in the current directory, from anything to ZIP, with
a scan for viri and with logging:

Take these options as an example and check them in the documentation.
Leave out the archivers that you don't have (or don't use) and correct
the value of some options (like DelOldFiles) to suit your own needs.
Also all directories should be changed to your situation ! If this
setup works, you can start add new options to it, but first get it
working in the most simple way !
I could write a setup program that would ask some questions and that
would generate a new MTA.CTL, but because of the large number of
different types of usage, this program will not have that much value.
