  2. E-post – Privacy • It is expected that email is private • Point to point encryption • Signatures • Framework is given by nationale laws. • Different types of contents/information • Email contents • Info on sender and receiver • Info on volume TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  3. Structure for E-mail systems Email client Email client imap pop SMTP Email server /var/mail (fs) SMTP Email server Email server DNS MX for idi.ntnu.no MX for whitehouse.gov TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  4. E-mail – Name space • Name space for suborganizations • Name space for server machines • Name space for personal adresses. • Firstname.lastname@ format • Username@ format • Aliases structure. TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst
