SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an Internet protocol used in sending e-mails. It is usually used with another protocol, Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), that lets you save messages in a server mailbox and then download them periodically from the incoming mail server. Simply put, e-mail programs use SMTP for sending e-mail and POP3 for receiving e-mail.
