Any questions, expert is free to ask me

SMTP System:
This coursework requires you to produce an SMTP Client/Server pair implementing parts of the RFC 821 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc821) specification for the SMTP protocol, except that your client/server must send/receive on a port specified at runtime.  Additional marks are available for the completion for compliance with the more modern implementation of SMTP in RFC5321  (https://tools.ietf.org/pdf/rfc5321.pdf).

You are then asked to provide an extension to your existing SMTP Client/Server pair which allows for the addition of shared mail-boxes, encryption to the communication channel, and logging of the interaction with the server. You must produce a working implementation of your protocol along with a short description of the added commands, responses, and general structure of the extension.
Deliverables:
Your assignment MUST be submitted electronically via Course Resources by the due date and time. You must submit it as ONE zip file that contains the following:

The document detailing the testing of your application and any information needed to run your application.

Please note:  submission in any form other than a single zip file (e.g. rar, multiple files, etc), will NOT be accepted and you will automatically fail this assessment.
