SMTP Relay Description

Features | Detailed Description

Available in .NET, VCL and ActiveX editions.

Using the SMTP protocol, a relay can transfer mail to another process on the same network or to some other network. With SMTP relay, a mail message may pass through a number of intermediate relay or gateway hosts on its path from sender to recipient. The MX mechanisms of the DNS are used to identify the appropriate next-hop destination for a message being transported. A "relay" SMTP system receives mail from an SMTP client and transmits it, without modification to the message data other than adding trace information, to another SMTP server for further relaying or for delivery. See RFC 2821RFC 2554 and RFC 974

Note: Most SMTP servers require that the sender PC must be registered in DNS. Otherwise, relaying will be denied to such SMTP servers.

Please see the Demos code (SmtpRelay) and also the indexed Help documentation provided with the Clever Internet Suite installation for more details about using this component.
