In detail
Easy to misread as a way to send mail through a proxy. It is not: mail goes out over SMTP from the node's own addresses, and the proxy arrangement for that is the external-MTA feature. This one covers the engine's other traffic — fetching resources, reaching the vendor — on a node whose outbound access is restricted.
