The clients sending the mail don't need to manage the MTA it is the obligation of the framework administrator to set up the nearby MTA. The MTA keeps up a little line of sends with the goal that it can plan rehash conveyance of mail in the event that the collector isn't accessible.

User-agent (UA)
Local MTA
