SMTP
SMTP
Pros of SMTP:
4. Integration with POP3/IMAP: SMTP works well with POP3 and IMAP,
which handle message retrieval and storage, respectively.
Cons of SMTP:
2. Spam Vulnerability: SMTP lacks inherent spam filtering, and its open
nature can be exploited by spammers. This requires external anti-spam
measures.
SMTPS (SMTP Secure): SMTP over SSL/TLS (port 465) encrypts email
content, providing confidentiality during transmission.
