SMTP is the protocol used to transfer mail between mail servers.  It's
also the protocol used by a client application to transfer mail to a
mail server.

POP is a client protocol used to pull down mail from your mail server to
your desktop PC.

Curiouser and curiouser. The above quoted part matches what I'd already
surmised, but the rest just leaves me as confused as ever. I was under
the impression that SMTP sends mail, and POP receives it. Am I laboring
under an oversimplification?

Anybody know of any Redbooks that might explain this in terms even I
could understand?
