This article is intended to be the most basic on how the Internet email system works (as opposed to history, economics, applications of email, etc.)  Our target audience is not experts, but students and administrators who operate email systems.  We will add subtopics expanding on details such as message formats and transfer protocols.  Topics relating to email security are also proper subtopics, because it is much easier to discuss email security once you understand how the system works.  Email abuse (spam, phishing, etc.) is a related topic, because it does not expand on or depend on this article.
