Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a TCP/IP protocol used in sending and receiving e-mail. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another. The messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or IMAP.

The following is a list of SMTP Server and Port Numbers:

No# Mail Server SMTP Server(Host) Port Number
