Exchange server
1. DEFINE MAIL SERVER

A computer running software to route email messages over the Internet . When an
e-mail is sent, the SMTP protocol is used to retrive the message from the user's client and
send it to its destination. Message the are
received are stored on the e-mail server and can be accessed by the user's email program
with a protocol such as POP3.

Mail Servers :

MS-Exchange MS-Windows
Lotus Domino IBM
Lotus Notes IBM
Sendmail LINUX/UNIX
Q-Mail LINUX/UNIX
Postfix LINUX/UNIX
Squirrel Mail LINUX/UNIX

EXCHANGE SERVER PROTOCOLS
SMTP 25 ( Simple Mail Transfer Protocol )
NNTP 119 ( Network News Transfer Protocol )
POP3 110 ( Post office Protcol version 3 )
IMAP4 143 ( Internet Message Access Protocol Verion 4 )
LDAP 389 ( Leight Weight Directory Access Protocol )
X.400 MHS ( Message Handling System )
X.500 ( Directory Services )
HTTP 80 ( Hypher Text Transfer Protocol )

Definition of: messaging system
Software that provides an electronic mail delivery system. It is made up of the
following functional components, which may be packaged together or independently.

Mail User Agent
The mail user agent (MUA or UA) is the client e-mail program, such as Outlook,
Eudora or Mac Mail, that submits and receives the message.

Message Transfer Agent
The message transfer agent (MTA) forwards the message to another mail server or
delivers it to its own message store (MS). Sendmail is the most widely used MTA on
the Internet. In a large enterprise, there may be several MTA servers (mail servers)
dedicated to Internet e-mail while others support internal e-mail.

Message Store
The message store (MS) holds the mail until it is selectively retrieved and deleted by
an access server. In the Internet world, a delivery agent writes the messages from
the MTA to the message store, and typical access servers are either POP or IMAP
servers.

The Internet's SMTP
Internet e-mail, the most ubiquitous messaging system in the world, is based on the
SMTP protocol. Prior to the Internet's enormous growth in the late 1990s, numerous
proprietary messaging systems were widely used, including cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail,
PROFS and DISOSS. See messaging middleware and SMTP.

Define and Configure SMTP :

SMTP Stands for the Simple Mail Transer Protocol , A Protocol for
Sending E-Mail messages between Servers. Most E-Mail systems that send mail
over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another , the
message con then be retrived with an e-mail client using either POP3 or IMAP .
In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client to a mail
server. This is why you need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP
server when you confiugre your e-mail application.

Define and Configure NNTP :

NNTP Stands for the Network News Transfer Protocol , The protocol used
to post , distribute, andretrive USENET messages.

Define and Configure IMAP4 :

IMAP4 Stands for the Internet Message Access Protcol , A standard
interface between an e-mail
client program and the e-mail server. IMAP4 and POP3 are the two common access
protocols used for Internet
e-mail until users log on and download it.

Wheras POP3 downloads the entire message with attachments when mail is
checked, IMAP4 can
be configured to download only the headers, which display to / from addresses and
subject . The user can then select ively download messages and attachments.

Define and Configure POP3 :

POP3 Stands for the Post Office Protocol Version 3 is the most recent
version of a standard protocol for receving e-mail. POP3 is a client/server Protocol in
which e-mail is received and held for you (or your client e-mail receiver ) check your
mail-box on the server and download any mail, probably using POP3 . This standard protocol
is built into most popular e-mail products , such as Eudora and Outlook Express . It's
alos built into the Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers.

POP3 is designed to delete mail on the server as soon as the user has
downloaded it. However, some implementaiton allows user or an administrator to specify that
mail be saved for some period of time. POP can be thought of as a " store-and-forward"
service.

An alternate protocol is Internet Message Access protocol ( IMAP ) IMAP
provides the user more capabilities for retining e-mail on the server and for organizing it in
folders on the server. IMAP can be thought of as a remote file server.

POP and IMAP deal with the receving of e-mail and are not be confused wiht
the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol , a p protocol for transfering e-mail acrooss the Internet.
You send e-mail with SMTP and a mail handler receives it on your recipient's behalf. Then
the mail is read using POP or IMAP.

The conventional port number for POP3 is 110

X.400 MHS ( Message Handling System ) :

An ISO and ITU standard for addressing and transporting e-mail
messages. It conforms to layer7 of the OSI Model and supports serveal types of Transport
mechanisms, including Ethernet, X.25, TCP/IP,and dial-up lines.
