SMTP is an email protocol used to send and receive emails over the internet. It's a standard communication system that enables devices to exchange mail messages between different email servers, allowing users to send emails to recipients anywhere on the global network. SMTP relies on port 25 (and often ports 587 or 465) for communication between mail transfer agents (MTAs), which are software applications responsible for transferring emails between servers and ultimately delivering them to intended recipients' inboxes.
