Software infrastructure such as libraries and helper processes are often only 
documented in developer levle documentation, e.g. API documentation, text files 
within the version control system used for the software's source code, within 
the source code itself.

However, KDE, as a lot of other Free Software initiatives, is open for 
contributions from all people, not just developers. So if anyone wants to 
contribute user level documentation for any of those software components they 
are very welcome to do so.

My understanding is that this is a rather straight forward process, basically 
just logging into userbase.kde.org and creating a new page or adding to an 
already existing one.

For the question at hand my take would be that a mail dispatcher agent is a 
helper program (agent) that dispatches mail (most likely meaning e-mail).
Assuming those two items are correct, a mail dispatcher agent would be a 
program that sends e-mails on behave of other programs.

Cheers,
Kevin
