ON 20031206@9:59:14 PM at page: http://techref.massmind.org/techref/inet/spam.htm JMN-EFP-786 James Newton Says Glossary:
RBL
Realtime Blocking List: A list of known spam sources (by IP address) that is updated constantly. Due to the large size and need for instant updates, most RBLs are not distributed as an acutal list. To check an incomming IP address, a reverse DNS request is sent to the RBL server with the IP in question. If the IP address is known, it is a spam source. Otherwise, it is probably ok.
POP3
Post Office Protocol v3: The language used to transfer emails between email servers and email clients.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transport Protocol: The language used to transfer emails between email servers. SMTP really is simple.
