Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
The TCP/IP standard protocol for transferring electronic mail messages
between points on the Internet. SMTP specifies how two mail systems
interact and the format of control messages they exchange to transfer
mail.
SMTP is a protocol for transferring email between points on the
Internet; Post Office Protocol (POP) and Internet Message Access
Protocol (IMAP) deal with receiving email from your local server. You
send email with SMTP and a mail handler receives it on your recipient's
behalf. The mail is then read using POP or IMAP.
See also "Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)" and "Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3)".
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
A network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP
networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network
devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance
and security on a network.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
A parallel interface standard used by Apple Macintosh computers, PCs
and many Unix systems for attaching peripheral devices to computers.
SCSI interfaces provide for faster data transmission rates (up to
80 Mb/s) than standard serial and parallel ports. In addition, you can
attach many devices to a single SCSI port, so that SCSI is really an
input/output bus rather than simply an interface. Although SCSI is an
ANSI standard, there are many variations, so two SCSI interfaces can be
incompatible. For example, SCSI supports several types of connectors.
