Mail Service Setup
Mail service in Mac OS X Server allows network users to send and receive email over
your network or across the Internet. Mail service sends and receives email using the
standard Internet mail protocols: Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), Post Office
Protocol (POP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Mail service also uses a
Domain Name System (DNS) service to determine the destination IP address of
outgoing mail.
This chapter begins with a look at the standard protocols used for sending and
receiving email. Then it explains how mail service works, summarizes the aspects of
mail service setup, and tells you how to:
•
Set up mail service for incoming and outgoing mail
