Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

An SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server is a programme that sends, receives, and routes outgoing mails between email senders and recipients. When sending an email using the SMTP, the server examines it, determines which server to send it to, and relays it to that server. The message is subsequently downloaded and placed in the recipient’s inbox by the recipient’s inbox service provider, such as Gmail or AOL.

You should know that without an SMTP server, in no case your email would reach its intended recipient. When you press the “send” button, your email is converted into a string of code and delivered to the SMTP server. The SMTP server is made to interpret that code and forward the message. The message would be lost in translation if the SMTP server was not there to handle it. Furthermore, the SMTP server checks that the outgoing email is from an active account, serving as the first line of defence in keeping spam out of your inbox. If the email cannot be delivered, it will be returned to the sender. This helps in notifying the sender that they may have entered the incorrect email address or that there are chances that the receiving server has banned their email.

There are plenty of “effective” SMTP servers existing; it all depends on your skill level, available systems, and, finally, the purpose and where you want to utilize it. Most Linux distributions include either Sendmail or Postfix, which are highly flexible and massively scalable SMTP servers. Postfix is generally the preferred mail server since the configuration files are completely human-readable, which makes it an easy task to deal with compared to the issues with Sendmail. Other reliable STMP servers include:

1. Mailgun

2. Turbo SMTP

3. Sendinblue

4. Sendpulse

5. Google SMPT

6. Pepipost

7. SendGrid

8. Pepipost

9. Mailify

10. Amazon SES
