  Subject: FAQ 21. What is SMTP?  Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
  
! Date:	Wed, 19 Aug 1992 00:04:59 -0700
! From:	Shiraz Kanga <skanga@us.oracle.com>
  
! SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and it is the mail transfer
! method in use on the Internet. (It is defined in RFC821 [see Subject 22]).
! SMTP addresses are of the form:
! 
!                       userid@domain-name
! 
! where userid is usually the name of the users mailbox on the mail host 
! machine that is named in the domain-name. The domain name generally
! consists of 2 to 4 short words which are separated by dots (periods)
! 
! For example:          jsmith@big.univ.edu
! 
! SMTP addresses are subject to the following rules:
! 
! The domain name is always case insensitive (ie. BIG.univ.edu, Big.Univ.Edu
! and BiG.uNiV.eDu are all the same domain)
! 
! All messages must be in seven bit ASCII format
! 
! All headers start at the beginning of the message and end with the first
! blank line and the consist of a keywork, a colon, a spacxe and a string of text.
! 
! For example:          Subject: This is a test
! 
! The rest of the message is the body of the text.
! 
! Note:
! The term 'domain' sometimes has different connotations when used in different
! contexts. In the current context we are talking about a DNS domain where DNS
! is the Domain Name System which is widely used on the Internet and some other
! networks as well.
