An email proxy server facilitates the transmission of electronic mail. It acts as an intermediary between email clients and email servers, intercepting and forwarding messages. For example, a user sending an email would connect to the proxy server, which then handles the communication with the recipient’s mail server.
Such a server can provide several advantages, including enhanced security through filtering and encryption, improved email delivery rates by bypassing certain restrictions, and centralized management of email communications. Historically, organizations have used these proxies to control email flow and implement security policies effectively.
