In technical terms it is a computer program lurking in the background, usually listening on certain service ports, springing to life when you contact it there. The mailer daemon is a good example. The email program on your computer, for instance MS Outlook, dumps the message you just wrote onto the daemon(running on a server) which subsequently takes care of the actual delivery over the Internet. 2, record 1, English, - mailer%20daemon
