What is an SMTP server ?

The acronym SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, the procedure behind the email flow on the internet.
What happens when you send out an email? The process of email delivery is actually quite similar to classical mail: an organized system takes care of your envelope and through a series of steps it drops it off to your recipient.

Injection points can be specified for manual as well as automated fuzzing attacks to discover potentially unintended application behaviors, crashes and error messages.   >> BURPSUITE: SOURCE   Burpsuite is created by: PortSwigger Web Security It is av...
