16 Chapter 1 Mail Service Setup
Mail Service Protocols
A standard mail client setup uses SMTP to send outgoing email, and POP and IMAP to
receive incoming email. Mac OS X Server includes an SMTP service and a combined
POP and IMAP service. You may find it helpful to take a closer look at the three email
protocols.
Outgoing Mail
Outgoing mail service is the means by which your users can send mail out to the
Internet. Subject to restrictions that you control, the SMTP service also transfers mail to
and from mail service on other servers. If your mail users send messages to another
Internet domain, your SMTP service delivers the outgoing messages to the other
domains mail service.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
SMTP is a protocol used to send and transfer mail. SMTP queues outgoing mail
messages from the user. These messages are transferred along the Internet to their
destinations, to be picked up by the incoming mail protocols.
Mac OS X Server uses Postfix as its mail transfer agent (MTA). Postfix fully supports the
Internet standard SMTP protocol. Your email users will set their email applications’
outgoing mail server to your Mac OS X Server running Postfix, and access their own
incoming mail from a Mac OS X Server running incoming mail service. More
information on Postfix can be found at:
www.postfix.org
If you choose to use another MTA (such as Sendmail), you won’t be able to configure
your mail service with Mac OS X Server administration tools.
If you want to use the Sendmail program instead of Postfix, you must disable the
current SMTP service through Postfix, then install and configure Sendmail. For more
information about Sendmail, see the website www.sendmail.org.
Incoming Mail
Mail is transferred from incoming mail storage to the email recipient’s inbox by a local
delivery agent (LDA). The LDA is responsible for handling local delivery, making mail
accessible by the user’s email application. There are two different protocols available
from Mac OS X Servers mail access agent: POP and IMAP.
Mac OS X Server uses Cyrus to provide POP and IMAP service. More information about
Cyrus can be found at:
