SMTP l basics


1. Can anyone suggest some "light" reading why we use SMTP to point to a
relay server that then redirects your email to the intended mail exchange

RATHER THAN

send the message DIRECTLY from the client email package to the intended
mail exchange?


It cant be client side performance overload since the email is only
outgoing !


2. I presume the same host can be used for POP3 and SMTP - but is it
advisable - any guidelines?
