➤ How does email delivery work?
Email delivery uses client and server components. Your email client sends a message via SMTP to an outgoing mail server (MTA). The server routes it to the recipient’s mail server, which stores it. Recipients fetch mail with IMAP or POP3. Security layers like TLS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC help ensure authenticity and delivery.

➤ When do premium tax credits and subsidies apply to your per-paycheck cost?
