What is a mail server?
A mail server, or email server, is a program that is a key element of an email system. It acts like a post office, accepting, processing, and delivering emails.

Here is a simplified explanation of how a mail server works:

1. You write a letter and click the "Send" button.
2. Your email client (the program you use to work with email, such as Outlook or Thunderbird) connects to your sender's mail server.
3. Your sender's mail server accepts the letter and sends it to the recipient's mail server.
4. The recipient's mail server delivers the email to the recipient's mailbox.

There are two main types of mail servers:

• Incoming mail servers: store emails destined for recipients.
• Outgoing mail servers: send emails from senders' servers to recipients' servers.

Mail servers can also be classified by the type of software they use:

• Open source mail servers: free and publicly available to everyone.
• Proprietary mail servers: developed and sold by private companies.

Here are some popular examples of mail servers:

• Open source mail servers: Postfix, Dovecot, Zimbra
• Proprietary mail servers: Microsoft Exchange, IBM Domino, Google Workspace

Which type of mail server is right for you depends on your needs.

• If you need a simple and free mail server for personal use, an open source server is the right choice for you.
• If you need a more powerful and reliable email server for your business, a proprietary server may be right for you.
• If you need a server for personal tasks and want to know its cost, follow the link DELL Server Configurator .
