SMTP Server

Learn what an SMTP server is and how come it's so crucial to the worldwide email transmission.

If you have a shared web hosting package and you create an e-mail address, you might consider the option to send out and receive messages for granted, however, this is not always the case. Sending e-mails is not always a part of the hosting packages that service providers offer and an SMTP service is needed to be able to do that. The abbreviation signifies Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and this is the piece of software that enables you to send out e-mail messages. If you work with an email application, it creates a connection to the SMTP server. The latter then requests the DNS data of the domain, that is a part of the receiving address to find out which mail server handles its email messages. After some system data is swapped, your SMTP server delivers the message to the remote IMAP or POP server and the e-mail is finally delivered in the matching mailbox. An SMTP server is necessary if you use some kind of contact page also, so in case you have a free hosting package, for instance, it is very likely that you will not have the ability to make use of such a form as most free of charge web hosting service providers don't allow outgoing e-mails.
