Describe the technical process in as much details as you can from the moment the sender presses the SEND button to the end when the email reaches the recipient's inbox. Include as many technical terms as you can, necessary to describe the process, including what each server's role is and how they perform that role (SMTP, DNS, handshakes, MX records, etc). Don't be afraid to show your nerdiness here.
