SMTP is the principal  application layer protocol for  internet electronic  mail. It uses the reliable data transfer  service of TCP  to transfer  mail from  the sender mail  from the  sender small server the recipient mail  server. SMTP has two sides a client side which  executes on the sender mail server and a server side which executes on the recipient mail  server both  the client  and server sides  of SMTP run on  every mail server when  a mail server  sends mail to other mail  servers it acts  as an SMTP client. When  a mail  server  receive  mail  from other mail  servers it acts as an SMTP  server.
