SMPT
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet.
It is a TCP/IP protocol that defines the message format and the message transfer
agent (MTA), which stores and fowards the mail.
SMTP was originally designed for
only ASCII text, but MIME and other encoding methods enable program and multimedia files
to be attached to e-mail messages. |
