Here is the process when using a mail client such as Outlook Express.\n\nWhen you send a message it is transferred from your mail client (e.g. Outlook Express) to the server using SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.  SMTP is designed for sending messages.\n\nYou can get a feel for how this works by sending mail using the telnet procotol.  Check out the first link.  It's a good testing method for system administrators.\n\nNow that the server has the message, it must deliver it to the recipient's mail server.  Obviously it needs the address.  It determines this using the domain name portion of the email address.  For example for user@yahoo.com the domain is yahoo.com.\n\nComputers don't really "talk" using the friendly names that we do like yahoo.com.  Each computer has a number called an IP address.  That's where DNS comes in.  It translates friendly names to IP addresses.  What's more, there is a special DNS record for mail servers called an MX record.  So in short, the next step is to get the IP address of the recipient's mail server by querying DNS for the domain's MX record.\n\nYou can see this in action.  Open a command prompt and enter "nslookup -querytype=mx yahoo.com" and you'll see a list of IP addresses for Yahoo's mail servers.\n\nOnce the server has the IP address it again uses SMTP to send the message to the recipient's mail server.\n\nFinally the recipient uses POP or Post Office Protocol to retrieve the message.  POP simply downloads emails.\n\nDone!

TRUE \nTHE e-mail you send can allow the recepient to know from the computer the mail was send , it works this way , it show you exact ip addresses of how it pass till it got to your computer, and with the IP address you can easily trace which county, then narrow down to which who provide the service , then the owner of the computer, actually there are so many software that can hide you also that you can never be trace , but i just don't need to mention so don't do bad , and don't cheat onlnie so you will not be found wanted \nif u send a mail to me i can track the INTERNET PROVIDER  that give you link , but there are other people that there job is to trace you down home, such as CIA ,FBI and th rest ,

YEAH! Your question is easy because it's done all the time.\n\nI'll assume you have the database.\n\nFirst thing is your email template.  You can do this in the program or a better practice is to keep your emails either in a library or in separate files.  This males finding an email and changing it easier down the road.\n\nNext you write a program you bring the database and the email together like a maillist merge in wordprocessing.\n\nYou program will open the db, grab all the records you want to send the email to and for each one you\nll send the email message.\n\nNow the above is the logic to use no matter what type of server you are own.\n\nIf you are Apache with MySQL and PHP or a combo close then you'd use the MySQL connection your webhost setup as to how to acces it and Apache server email programs is usually SendMail.\n\nA combo of html and SendMail will be the email "code" part of your project.  The SendMail allows you to insert fields, the ones you'll pull from the database into the email.\n\nSo you can send mail with Dear John, etc...\n\nSendMail has greeting, salutaion, body sections which you can write as html or use scripting.  The trick is the receivers email must understand html and not block it and any scripting commands like Yahoo does.\n\nIf you're .NET the email namspace to learn more is System.Net.Mail, same logic applies, only thins has more stuff built in for you to play with.  The database or datasource can be Access, MSSQL, Oracle or MySQL and other dbs, it's Microsoft so more db makers are out there for the environment.\n\nNow, after you'd picked up the quick info on the command, you'll use save you fingers some headaches and go to a code site like CodeProject or DevSource and grab some free code doing emailing for the language and server you're using.  You may have to tweek the fields they'll use and of course your email not will be different.

You can't an email address is not tied to an IP address.  Anyone could login and use email whether it's web based or not.

Any time you are asked for your email address on a form, digital or paper, there's a chance that that email address will be sold to an unscrupulous company that will send you spam, and probably sold on to other company's.  People who send out spam will often use a piece of software that will generate a list of email addresses by putting names to well known domains like @yahoo.co.uk or @yahoo.com ad nauseum.

Just about every site has one or more 'mailto' links, allowing people to send email directly from a web page. \n\nA standard mailto link looks like this: \n\n<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com">Email Us</a>

do you have a business internet account?  do you have a static IP address from your ISP?  if not, and you have a "home user" Internet connection, then you most likely will not be able to receive emails coming into your server from the outside (Internet).  it is a standard that email servers use SMTP (not POP3) to send/receive emails between each other and most ISPs block this protocol (port 25) from the Internet to their customers.  you will have to get a business account to get this to work.\n\nwhy does your outgoing mail work, then?  yes, it worked when i did it, too.  my ISP relayed my outgoing mail for me, but incoming didn't work.  i do not know of any free 3rd party email relays, which will accept your email over SMTP and forward it back to you over POP3.  and i work with a lot of dorks who would know information like this if it was free and existed out there somewhere (i tried to do something similar to what you are trying).

Yes, once the email is sent it is a standard format the any computer with email software can receive.
