The smtpd daemon talks the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) with other
|
|
|
|
|
SMTP daemons to receive mail from them, and saves it into a spool directory
|
|
|
|
|
for later processing. It is the store portion of an SMTP store and forward
|
|
|
|
|
proxy. The symbiotic companion program smtpfwdd is used to forward the
|
|
|
|
|
spooled mail on to its eventual destination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
smtpd is invoked from a super-server such as inetd or juniperd.

|
|
|
|
outbound SPAM.
