1. What is SMTP? SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is a widely used protocol for sending email messages between servers over a network. SMTP is responsible for the transfer and delivery of email messages from the sender's mail server to the recipient's mail server.
2. How does SMTP work? SMTP operates on the client-server model. When an email is sent, the sender's email client (such as Outlook or Gmail) communicates with the sender's mail server using SMTP. The sender's mail server then establishes a connection with the recipient's mail server and delivers the email. The recipient's email client retrieves the email from the mail server using protocols like POP3 or IMAP.
