SMTP submission is the recommended way clients send email via a server. Learn the difference between submission and relay.
SMTP submission is the process of clients sending outgoing email to a submission server, usually on port 587 with authentication. It’s designed for user-to-server sending.
This differs from server-to-server SMTP relay, which transfers mail between MTAs. Using submission correctly improves security and reduces misrouting or authentication confusion.
