Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a protocol for routing mail through internetworks. SMTP uses the TCP and IP protocols.

SNMP doesn’t provide a mail interface for the user. Creation, management, and delivery of messages to end users must be performed by an e-mail application. (The most popular e-mail application on the Internet is named Eudora.)
