    Electronic mail, or email, allows users to exchange messages that may contain text, audio, or video. There are four scenarios for email architecture: 1) when the sender and receiver are on the same system only two user agents are needed, 2) when on different systems two user agents and a client-server MTA pair are used, 3) when the sender connects via LAN/WAN two user agents and two client-server MTA pairs are used, and 4) most commonly both the sender and receiver connect via LAN/WAN requiring two user agents, two client-server MTA pairs, and a mail agent pair. User agents like Eudora and Outlook provide graphical interfaces for composing

    Electronic Mail
    • Electronic mail (or e-mail) allows users to exchange messages
    • Messages may be the text, audio, video

    Architecture: First scenario


    • When the sender and the receiver of an e-mail are on the same
    system, we need only two user agents

    Architecture: Second scenario


    • When the sender and the receiver of an e-mail are on different
    systems, we need two UAs and a pair of MTAs (client and server)

    Architecture: Third scenario


    • When the sender is
    connected to the mail server
    via a LAN or a WAN, we
    need two UAs and two pairs
    of MTAs (client and server)

    Architecture: Fourth scenario


    • When both sender and receiver are connected to the mail server via a
    LAN or a WAN, we need two UAs, two pairs of MTAs and a pair of
    MAAs.
    • This is the most common situation today
