Folks,

I am having a little trouble with the way how DNS
handle SMTP relay.

I understand why it is necessary to have a "MX" or "RR" in the DNS entry. Yet, I am not sure I understand the benefits of having a email "relay" entry. I mean what are the benefits of receiving emails from a "SMTP relay server" as oppose to receive it from the "sender" directly?

Thanks
MIke
