Well, actually there are a number, typically at least two, mail
servers involved as well. These mail servers tend to be operated by
your ISP, but they might be operated by a third party.
I knew that, and included the mail servers and ISPs in my concept of
'the public Internet' (even though I understand that each ISP is owned
and operated by a particular person or company). What I meant was that
with Argus, the message is not forced to be routed through the server of
a commercial (or non-commercial) provider of the clinical messaging
system, which might be in another country, but instead will traverse
public Internet in the same as any other email message.
