Networks : Protocols For Sending And Reveiving E-Mail

Which two protocols are used for sending and receiving e-mail? (Select TWO.)
1. >>SNMP
2. SMTP
3. >>POP
4. FTP
5. PPP
Explanation : Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office Protocol (POP) are both part of the TCP/IP suite of protocols and are used for e-mail. SMTP, which uses Port 25, is typically used for e-mail transfers between mail servers. You use it to send mail. POP, which uses Port 110, is used for transferring e-mail from a mail server to an e-mail client. You use it to receive mail.

The FTP (File Transfer Protocol) utility program allows the bi-directional transfer of files between two networked hosts. Both hosts must be using TCP/IP, and the source host (the file server) must be running the FTP server daemon application.

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a communication protocol used in dial-up connections.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for collecting information about devices on a network.
