QK SMTP Server - General FAQ

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol(SMTP), a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers.
SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server.

Mail Client

Mail Client is an application that runs on a personal computer or workstation and enables you to send, receive and organize e-mail. Mail is sent from many clients to a mail server, then sent to its intended destination via mail server.

Mail Server

A computer or device on a network that manages network mail resources.

Port

An interface on a computer to which you can connect a device. Personal computers have various types of ports. Internally, there are several ports for connecting disk drives, display screens, and keyboards. Externally, personal computers have ports for connecting modems, printers, mice, and other peripheral devices. Almost all personal computers come with a serial RS-232C port or RS-422 port for connecting a modem or mouse and a parallel port for connecting a printer. On PCs, the parallel port is a Centronics interface that uses a 25-pin connector. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) ports support higher transmission speeds than do conventional ports and enable you to attach up to seven devices to the same port.

SMTP Relay

SMTP Relay is a service provided by most modern SMTP Servers. Whenever you send email to someone that is not on the same network as you are, somebody will need to deliver that email.

DNS Server

Short for Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.

ISP

Internet Service Provider(ISP), a company that provides access to the Internet.
The service provider offers you a software package, username, password and access phone number with stated fee.
You can log on to the Internet via a modem, then browse the World Wide Web, send and receive e-mail.

E-mail

Electronic Mail(e-mail/email), the transmission of messages over communications networks.
Generally you can edit your messages and send the message to the recipient with recipient's specific address.
Sent messages are stored in electronic mailboxes until the recipient fetches them.

Mail Box

An area in memory or on a storage device where e-mail is placed.
In e-mail systems, each user has a private mailbox. When the user receives e-mail, the mail system automatically puts it in the mailbox.

Mail Bounce

A bounced e-mail is one that never arrives in the recipient's inbox and is sent back, or bounced back, to the sender with an error message that indicates to the sender that the e-mail was never successfully transmitted.
