## Why use exim-relay?
**Benefits of using exim-relay** instead of configuring SMTP directly in each service:
1. **Final delivery capability**: Can deliver emails directly if you don't have an SMTP server
2. **Centralized configuration**: Configure your upstream SMTP server once in exim-relay, then point all services ([Synapse](configuring-playbook-synapse.md), [Matrix Authentication Service](configuring-playbook-matrix-authentication-service.md), etc.) there—no need to configure SMTP in each component
3. **Local spooling**: Stores messages locally and retries delivery if your upstream SMTP server is temporarily unavailable
## Firewall settings ## Firewall settings
No matter whether you send email directly (the default) or you relay email through another host, you'll probably need to allow outgoing traffic for TCP ports 25/587 (depending on configuration).
