Where does the SMTP server fit in? I thought when I sent an email, it
went first to my SMTP server.

It can, but then that SMTP server becomes "the client" in the above
description. Some email programs connect directly to the receiving SMTP
server, some connect to a local SMTP server that relays, but in both cases the
procedure is the same with respect to the address handling
