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
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. It is this first SMTP server the one that sends to the blind recipients and removes the info. And I can contact this one because it is at my ISP and I pay them, giving me an ID and password. I can not contact directly any longer the destination servers. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
