A terminal user is the same thing as an end user, a person using a computer.
In Linux, after the user log in to a terminal hi/she receives a user interface called Shell
A terminal emulator inside a graphical user interface is often called a terminal window. A terminal window allows access to a text terminal and its applications, for example the command line interface.
A terminal is a Command Line Interface (CLI).

Background processes are tied to a terminal's job control, while a daemon runs headless. When the terminal is killed or the user is logged out, the process dies. A daemon does not need the user to be logged in.
The main purpose of SMTP is to deliver messages to user's mailboxes. A very similar service provided by some hosts is to deliver messages to user's terminals (provided the user is active on the host). The delivery to the user's mailbox is called "mailing", the delivery to the user's terminal is called "sending". Because in many hosts the implementation of sending is nearly identical to the implementation of mailing these two functions are combined in SMTP. However the sending commands are not included in the required minimum implementation (Section 4.5.1). Users should have the ability to control the writing of messages on their terminals. Most hosts permit the users to accept or refuse such messages. The following three command are defined to support the sending options. These are used in the mail transaction instead of the MAIL command and inform the receiver-SMTP of the special semantics of this transaction: SEND <SP> FROM:<reverse-path> <CRLF> The SEND command requires that the mail data be delivered to the user's terminal. If the user is not active (or not accepting terminal messages) on the host a 450 reply may returned to a RCPT command. The mail transaction is successful if the message is delivered the terminal. SOML <SP> FROM:<reverse-path> <CRLF> The Send Or MaiL command requires that the mail data be delivered to the user's terminal if the user is active (and accepting terminal messages) on the host. If the user is not active (or not accepting terminal messages) then the mail data is entered into the user's mailbox. The mail transaction is successful if the message is delivered either to the terminal or the mailbox. SAML <SP> FROM:<reverse-path> <CRLF> The Send And MaiL command requires that the mail data be delivered to the user's terminal if the user is active (and accepting terminal messages) on the host. In any case the mail data is entered into the user's mailbox. The mail transaction is successful if the message is delivered the mailbox. The same reply codes that are used for the MAIL commands are used for these commands.
