SMTP Authentication

What is SMTP?

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol used in sending and receiving e-mail. SMTP is limited in its ability to queue messages at the receiving end, so usually is used with one of two other protocols, POP3 or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), that let the user save messages in a server mailbox and download them periodically from the server.
