Summary

Email Relay is an e-mail store-and-forward message transfer agent and proxy server. The service does three things:

• Stores any incoming e-mail messages that it receives
• Forwards e-mail messages on to another remote e-mail server
• Serves up stored e-mail messages to local e-mail reader programs

More technically, it acts as a SMTP storage daemon, a SMTP forwarding agent, and a POP3 server.
