The age of velocity is doing the rounds. Therefore it goes without a saying that pace is the order of the day. The other implication that it bears for all the individuals is that they are all a part of the rat race and in case they intend to thrive and emerge victorious they need to have the required velocity. A very small but relevant example of the pace at which life is currently running is that of communication via e-mail. The speed at which the mail is sent makes it appear as a cakewalk to all and sundry, however only those who are completely aware of the entire process of execution will know the lengthy procedure and the immense task that is involved. The SMTP service as well as the role played by the SMTP mail server under such circumstances, becomes mandatory.
The SMTP service is the outcome of the co-ordinated effort of the SMTP mail server, the relay server and finally the mail server software. The services of the three mentioned above are in fact not segregated and individualistic rather they are complementary and interconnected. The mail server helps in the mail transfer from the user to the recipient as well and vice versa. The relay server enables one to detour the ISP blocks and deliver the mail in the targeted mail box.

Post the successful location of the recipient's server the user's mail server transfers the mail to the targeted server. The mail then passes through the server to reach the inbox of the recipient.
The SMTP relay server on the other hand creates a bypass route to deliver harmless mails to the targeted recipients which would otherwise be denied entry by the ISP block. The SMTP relay server enables the user to have a greater flexibility pertaining to mail transfer without hampering the functioning of the ISP blocks.
The SMTP mail server software acts as the organizer of one's inbox. Usually the gushing in of mails leaves the inbox in a choke-a-bloke situation. This often results in the delayed delivery of certain urgent mails, further resulting in the loss of opportunities. To prevent such incidents the SMTP mail server software ensures that the inbox is arranged in a manner to accommodate the required.
