The inventory client is able to send the scanning result file by e-mail using either MAPI or SMTP.

 

MAPI is an acronym for Messaging Application Programming Interface. MAPI allows client programs to become (electronic mail) messaging-enabled, -aware, or -based by calling MAPI subsystem routines that interface with certain messaging systems and message stores.

 

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the de facto standard for e-mail transmission across the Internet. SMTP is a relatively simple, text-based protocol, where one or more recipients of a message are specified (and in most cases verified to exist) and then the message text is transferred.
