Section One • How email is sent 1/2

Naturally the email process begins in the program used to type out and send messages, entering the address in the "to:" field for the message. This program will have a series of settings which specify a "mailserver" to send the message through.

Windows XP - Thunderbird
Macintosh OSX - Entourage

When the sending mailserver receives the message, it looks to the address to find the domain name, the part of the address to the right of the @ character. The mailserver then checks the domain name to find the mailserver you are sending to, and sends the email there.
