sending e-mail – how it

works (server)

1. JDAEMON processes

/var/spool/clientmqueue once

at startup to handle any

messages submitted while

JDAEMON wasn’t running

2. new messages are read from

port 25 using SMTP and queued

in /var/spool/mqueue

3. the remote mail server is

resolved via DNS, and a

connection is tried to port 25

4. if the message is delivered

successfully, it is removed from

mqueue, else it remains until

mqueue is processed again by

the local mail daemon

5. local messages are delivered by

/bin/tsmail to

/usr/mail/USER.ACCOUNT
