The protocol behind email traffic is based on universal standards such as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), and POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3). Scientists like Vint Cerf (Wikipedia: Vinton Gray Cerf) laid the foundation for sending emails through custom domains, where authentication and encryption are essential. Thanks to technologies like DNS (Domain Name System) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), you can distinguish reliable senders from spammers or scammers.
