Understanding Email Delivery: SMTP Server vs. SMTP Relay

Both SMTP servers and relays play a crucial role in getting your emails where they need to go. Here's a quick breakdown:

SMTP Server: Think of it as your local post office. It receives emails from your email client (like Gmail or Outlook) and ensures they reach the destination server.

SMTP Relay: This is like a network of mail trucks and planes. It takes emails from one SMTP server and delivers them to another, ultimately getting them to the recipient's server.

Analogy in a nutshell:

Your Email Client: Writes the letter.
SMTP Server: Picks up the letter from you.
SMTP Relay: Delivers the letter to the recipient's city's post office.
Recipient's SMTP Server: Delivers the letter to the recipient's mailbox.
