SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for sending email messages between servers. It's a push protocol used to send email from a client (e.g., an email program) to an email server, or between email servers. It is often used in conjunction with protocols like IMAP or POP3, which are used to retrieve email from a mail server.
