Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

  • Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is considered as a part of TCP/IP protocol (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) which moves your email across networks to the right email inbox and computer. SMTP uses the store and forward process with the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) to move the emails across networks.
  • We will describe on how two networks works by exchanging the emails between the servers through SMTP process. For instance, Let us see the SMTP process that goes on if UserA sends an email from his server (Hotmail.com) to UserB’s email server (yahoo.com). Consider UserA using Hotmail as his email server and UserB using Yahoo mail server.
  • UserA’s email server (Hotmail) pushes the email to the destination UserB’s email server (Yahoo). The Hotmail email server starts communicating with the yahoo mail server for the mail deliver to happen. This is where the SMTP protocol comes up which governs the communication between the two mail servers (Hotmail email server and yahoo email server).
  • The SMTP protocol checking between the servers happens and then the Hotmail email server confirms the destination email address with the yahoo mail server for sending the email from UserA to UserB. After the confirmation, the Hotmail email server sends the email to the destination email address in the yahoo mail server.
  • SMTP Protocol: The Above SMTP protocol checking between the email servers is briefly explained below assuming that everything goes fine without any failure:
    • The Hotmail server sends EHLO message to the yahoo server. The EHLO message is nothing but the greeting between the two servers. The yahoo server too sends the acknowledgement to the Hotmail server.
    • After receiving the acknowledgement, the Hotmail server sends the destination address for confirmation. The receiving server (yahoo server) receives the message and sends acknowledgement after confirming the destination address.
    • The Hotmail server then sends a message that it is going to send the email data after the destination address confirmation with the yahoo server.
    • Once again after acknowledgement, the Hotmail server sends the email data to the yahoo server.
    • The yahoo server will send an acknowledgement after receiving the full message and then both the servers will terminate the session.
  • The Internet service providers have a limit on the number of emails that can be sent over a certain amount of time. The limit is mostly set on the number of email sent per hour or per day. Each ISP relies on its SMTP to determine and govern the email that can be sent out by one connection. For some people who work at home or manage large mailing lists, that could be a problem. After they hit their limit, the ISP will simply stop sending emails. If the ISP thinks you're a spammer, they might even shut down your account.

    NATIVE APP, WEB APP & HYBRID APP

  • An App or an application can be one of the following: a computer software package installed on a computer, the app which we use on our mobile, the web service we use through web browser, the game we play on our tablet, etc. There are applications that are developed specifically for web, mobile devices, for smartwatches, etc. Applications are of many ways like how they are built, on which platform they run, whether they are opensource or under proprietorship. A mobile application developer can develop the app as a native app, web app or even as a hybrid app.

  • Native app
  • A native application or native app is an application that is coded and developed specifically for one platform. For example, Objective C for IOS or Java for Android operation systems, etc. A native app is actually built for using on a particular device and its OS (Operating System). The native app has the ability to use specific hardware or software on the installed device such as the camera app, address book, etc. Even most video games for mobile devices are considered as native mobile apps. Native apps are downloaded through apple store for IOS devices and play store (google) for android devices. Some native apps are downloaded through the internet too. Native mobile apps have the advantage of being faster and efficient but need to update. Apple native mobile apps are built using either Objective-C or Swift and XCode IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Android native apps are written in Java and built using android studio or eclipse IDE. Native app examples are Google Maps, LinkedIn, Twitter, Telegram, etc.

  • Web app
  • A web app utilizes web browsers and web technology to perform tasks over the internet. Web apps are accessed through the internet and they adapt to whichever devices the user is viewing them on. Web apps need an active internet connection in order to run. Web apps are build using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript. They are fast and simple to build but are not as versatile and quick as native apps. Web apps update themselves and not like native apps which is updated regularly.

  • Hybrid app
  • Hybrid applications combines both elements of web applications and native applications. Hybrid apps can function whether or not the device is connected to internet. Hybrid apps are mostly integrated with device’s file system and with web-based services. Some of the hybrid apps examples are Microsoft word, banking apps, media apps, etc. Hybrid app are also built like the web app using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Hybrid app is reliant on the web view and not the mobile browser. The choice to build an app (native or hybrid or web) depends on various factors like business needs, application requirements, the skill of the developer and the deadline to build the app. So each type of app offers different experience and its important to know all the advantage and disadvantages of them before starting to develop the app.
