< li > < strong > Port 25:< / strong > Send the email directly to the given email address MTA as possible. Like your own < code > docker-mailserver< / code > port 25, this is the standard port for receiving email on, thus email will almost always arrive to the final MTA on this port. Note that, there may be additional MTAs further in the chain, but this would be the public facing one representing that email address.< / li >
< li > < strong > Port 465(< em > and 587< / em > ):< / strong > SMTP Relays are a popular choice to hand-off delivery of email through. Services like SendGrid are useful for bulk email(marketing) or when your webhost or ISP are preventing you from using standard ports like port 25 to send out email(which can be abused by spammers). < / li >
< / ul >
< p > < code > docker-mailserver< / code > can serve as a relay too, but the difference between a DIY relay and a professional service is reputation, which is referenced by MTAs you're delivering to such as Outlook, Gmail or others(perhaps another < code > docker-mailserver< / code > server!), when deciding if email should be marked as junked or potentially not delivered at all. As a service like SendGrid has a reputation to maintain, relay is restricted to registered users who must authenticate(even on port 25), they do not store email, merely forward it to another MTA which could be delivered on a different port like 25.< / p >

< p > You may know of these ports as < strong > SMTPS, POP3S, IMAPS< / strong > , which indicate the protocol in combination with a TLS connection.

2021-03-28 12:40:56 +00:00
< p > Additionally, referring to port 465 as < em > SMTPS< / em > would be incorrect, as it is a submissions port requiring authentication to proceed via < em > ESMTP< / em > , whereas ESMTPS has a different meaning(STARTTLS supported).

< p > Unlike with HTTP where a web browser client communicates directly with the server providing a website, a secure TLS connection as discussed below is not the equivalent safety that HTTPS provides when the transit of email (receiving or sending) is sent through third-parties, as the secure connection is only between two machines, any additional machines (MTAs) between the MUA and the MDA depends on them establishing secure connections between one another successfully.< / p >
2021-03-28 12:40:56 +00:00
< p > Other machines that facilitate a connection that generally aren't taken into account can exist between a client and server, such as those where your connection passes through your ISP provider are capable of compromising a cleartext connection through interception.< / p >
