3.1 POP and SMTP
The available functions depend on whether this machine is set up to use the POP or SMTP for
retrieving E-mail from a mail server.
POP (Post Office Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):
“SMTP” is a server protocol for sending E-mail messages between servers. Usually the
E-mail systems that transfer E-mails over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from
one server to another. Then the E-mail message can be retrieved with an E-mail client
using either “POP” or “IMAP”. “POP” is a protocol used to retrieve E-mail from a mail
server.
When this machine use POP for the Receive Mode:
This machine works as a POP client (MUA). Similar to most e-mail applications, this
machine use POP for receiving an E-mail message and SMTP for sending an E-mail
message.
When this machine use SMTP for the Receive Mode:
This machine works as one of the mail servers (MTA). The machine can transfer an E-
mail message in the SMTP transmission.
The following table shows the available functions according to the type of the protocols set for
the Receive Mode.
If the use of the Offramp Gateway function is not necessary, it is recommended that the Re-
ceive Mode is set to “POP” because some settings will be required to be set on the mail server
if the Receive Mode is set to “SMTP”. For more information about the Offramp Gateway
function, see “Chapter 3 FUNCTION SETTINGS - Offramp Gateway Setup”.
