What software is used to support electronic mail?
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Servers A dedicated internet connection usually uses SMTP software to send and receive messages. The SMTP server may transfer messages to the “spool” area for incoming email in the file system, may queue the messages for transmission via UUCP, may hold mail in a POP server, or may transfer the message to a proprietary email system. b) Unix-to-Unix Copy (UUCP) Servers A UUCP server is used to transfer messages when a store and forward is used, either between machines within a WAN, or to another machine with a dialup link. c) Post Office Protocol (POP) mail Servers A POP server holds email which can later be retrieved by a client application run by the user, typically on a PC which might not be running 24 hours a day. The TCP/IP protocol is used either over a LAN or dialup SLIP connection to retrieve messages. d) Mail User Agents (Mail Readers) Uses or applications employ client programs to retrieve and display email messages from the file system mail
