A Protocol To Make Email Simpler Simple

[mdraufk.h.an.d.a]

Mail Transfer Protocol (Smtp) Standardized The Way Mail Servers Send And Receive Messages. It’s Partly Based On The Sndmsg Program That Tomlinson Created At Arpanet. Smtp Is What Email Clients Use To Send Messages To Mail Servers And On To The Recipients. The Late Jon Postel (Known As The "God Of The Internet") Co-authored Rfc 772, The Precursor To Smtp ,with Suzanne Sluizer In 1980.

Postel Would Later Publish Rfc 788 For Smtp As A Way To Replace belgium email list File Transfer Protocol (Ftp) For Delivering Emails. Of Course, Smtp Has Issues - Namely Security And A Way To Verify The Identity Of A Sender. In The Early '80s, Relatively Few Computers Were Connected To The Early Internet. The People Using Them Knew Each Other And Trusted Other Users. Suzanne Sluizer Explained This To Cnet In 2004 And Actually Suggested A New Protocol Was Needed.

"Back In The Time We Were Doing This Work, We Were Talking About Hundreds Or Maybe Thousands Of Sites On What Was Then Called The Arpanet ... It Was A Trusted Situation, And The Protocols Were Developed On The Basis Of That Trust. So It's Very Surprising To Me That We Are Using The Same Protocols Coming Up On 25 Years Later, Because You Need Different Things In A Commercial Environment Than You Need In A Research Environment.
