Podmailing is a kind of P2P software as it uses P2P communication technologies such as BitTorrent. It enables Podmailing to transfer data directly between its users, for maximum efficiency. But Podmailing does not have the usual drawbacks of P2P: Podmailing offers a high quality of service by relaying files on its servers so you don’t risk being stuck with “no sources” for your downloads; it doesn’t share any files from your hard drive other than the files that you send or receive; it doesn’t expose you to viruses or malware as long as you only download files sent by trusted contacts. Podmailing does not use your email account or inbox to store data. So it is not a Peer-To-Mail (P2M) software.
