Traditional all-purpose mail servers can be viewed as generalists. They divide their time and attention between their SMTP and POP duties. They do fairly well at both, but don't excel at either. Many consumer mail servers are actually more geared toward their POP duties since this is more applicable for most ordinary email activities.
However, if you are planning on sending out large volumes of email, it is highly recommended that you invest in a high-performance SMTP server to handle the mail delivery. High-performance SMTP servers are specifically developed for this purpose. Instead of being email generalists, they are specialists that excel at fast, efficient mail delivery.
Furthermore, by employing a dedicated machine to handle your high-volume mail delivery, you can leave your all-purpose mail server to keep handling your regular incoming and outgoing mail. By having a dedicated SMTP server handle your high-volume deliveries, you can be certain that this mail is delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible, while avoiding the risk of diverting resources and slowing down your regular email.
