Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, defined in 1982, is the main protocol used to deliver email messages over IP. Its current implementation allows to request authentication, to send mail messages over several mail servers, to use secure connections and so on.
Advanced mail servers can support and/or check several mail authentication (using such techniques as SPF, DKIM, SenderID and so on). Although SMTP itself doesn’t provide means to guarantee that mail is sent from a reliable source, the protocol allows to prevent mail delivery in case the message fails one or more of such checks.
IPHost Network Monitor uses SMTP to send email alerts.
