A few clarifications, please. 😀 > SMTP Service is talking TCP with the client. When it is asked to > deliver a message, it simply calls `enqueue` on the MailQueue. Can you be more precise about what you mean by “client”? > As everything happens in the Java process, you don't have a protocol, > just a method call. By the way, is the message communicated via TCP or via a method call. Sorry, I am a bit confused about the two statements you made above. Once the mail is received by the mail queue, does all the rest of the process happen via method calls, too? > The spooler is the thing taking messages from the queue for processing. > The MailQueue allows to decouple the reception from the handling. > A spooler usually is able to concurrently process several mails. Thanks. Are there any other important “parts” that I should be aware of? Cheers, =David
