[edit] Page moves

This page was moved from User:Matt graham/Smart Host as requested at WP:RM (Talk:User:Matt graham/Smart Host) --Lox (t,c) 09:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Since per that discussion, "smart host" is normally lower case in running text, I moved the article to Smart host, per WP naming conventions. Jonathunder 14:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A picture could be handy

So is this correct ? And if it's correct, isn't there a name for the MTA between smart host and mda ?

without smarthost:
MAILCLIENT FROM SENDER---smtp---> MTA FROM SENDER----------smtp---------->MDA FROM RECEIVER---pop3--->MAILCLIENT FROM RECEIVER

with smarthost:
MAILCLIENT FROM SENDER---smtp--->SMART HOST FROM SENDER---smtp--->MTA---smtp--->MDA FROM RECEIVER---pop3--->MAILCLIENT FROM RECEIVER

Or is this one correct:

MAILCLIENT FROM SENDER---smtp--->MTA FROM SENDER--smtp-->SMART HOST-->MDA FROM RECEIVER---pop3--->MAILCLIENT FROM RECEIVER
