If you have enough network programming experience, then the best way is
to read the relevant RFCs. Read RFC 821 for SMTP and I don't remember
the numbers off hand for the others. Search in http://www.faqs.org/rfcs
for the documents.

Stevens' TCP/IP - The Protocols (Vol I) has chapters dedicated to the
intricacies of FTP and SMTP. Read it.
For SSL, the place to look for is http://www.openssl.org.
