Transcription: What's the secret behind email on the Internet? It's called SMTP, which stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Actually, it's really not that simple to understand unless you're an Internet computer guru, but here's a general idea of what it's all about. An SMTP program runs in the background of every host 24 hours a day, waiting for incoming mail to arrive. When a message arrives, SMTP accepts it and delivers it to the appropriate mailbox.
