SMTP
Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, SMTP is an Internet standard for the sending of e-mail messages over port 25. While it is mostly used for transfer from one mail server to another, some client mail applications use SMTP for relaying messages; whereas receiving happens via POP or IMAP.
Tip: If you are looking for your SMTP address or SMTP server, this information is only obtainable from your ISP or e-mail provider.
