郵件網關,(介於兩個信件系統間,使其能夠互相傳遞郵件的機器)
mail gateway
A machine that connects two or more {electronic mail}
systems (including dissimilar mail systems) and transfers
messages between them. Sometimes the mapping and translation
can be quite complex, and it generally requires a
{store and forward} scheme whereby the message is received
from one system completely before it is transmitted to the
next system, after suitable translations.
