If you're talking strictly mail terms, correct, to your ISP, it's just packets at that point. Remember, however, that all traffic is logged somewhere.

If I use my ISP to send email, they log it and keep the record for years.

If I elect to use my server with its DNS capability to send the mail 'direct', even though I still need the ISP to give me an internet connection, they have nothing to log.

Is my understanding correct?

Many thanks
