Was ist das SMTP-Protokoll?

SMTP steht für „Simple Mail Transfer Protocol“, was sich mit „Einfaches E-Mail-Transferprotokoll“ übersetzen lässt. Es handelt sich dabei um ein verbindungsorientiertes, textbasiertes Netzwerkprotokoll aus der Internetprotokollfamilie und ist als solches auf der siebten Schicht des OSI-Modells, der Anwendungsschicht, angesiedelt. Genauso wie jedes andere Netzprotokoll enthält es Regeln für die korrekte Kommunikation zwischen Computern in einem Netzwerk. Dabei ist SMTP speziell für das Einspeisen und Weiterleiten von E-Mails von einem Absender zu einem Empfänger zuständig.
