SMTP is an abbreviation of the "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol".

The SMTP protocol allows applications to send emails over the Internet. In short, SMTP manages the emails you send; your email client will connect to the email server and send you the email. Other protocols are used for receiving emails - POP3 and IMAP.

To prevent SPAM sending, SMTP authentication is required when sending emails.
