No, the client only connects to one SMTP server, the one it is configured in the client setup, and it sends it a single copy of the email with all recipients listed. If my client tries to contact the destination smtp server (like gmail), the connection will be dropped, because I use a dynamic IP.
As I say, that depends. Don't generalize from your case to the general. There are still lots of people out there who use /usr/lib/sendmail to send their mail, and that sends directly to the recipient, unless you configure it otherwise
I do that as well. I did, till it stopped working because mail was rejected at the other end. Now my postfix only connect to a relay server at the ISP. Either my postfix removes the blind recipients and sends several copies to only one relay server at the ISP, or sends a single copy with all recipients listed to that relay. The client software in all cases sends a single copy with blind recipients listed. It shows in the log.
So when you say "the client only", what you really mean is "my client only". I'm sure that's true, but it isn't always the case
It is indeed the general case. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
