So I guess the answer to his original question is "yes". :)
It depends on the circumstances (requirements and constraints) as to how
best to achieve the result.
Thanks Sebastian. I presume Aneesh will reply with any further questions
he might have.

I think they don't wanna take any risk and loop it through an internal

Under that aspect I see a relay being useful. It can deal with nasty stuff
instead of the important machine on the LAN.
Could be a security requirement in the company, maybe PCI compliance ;-)

I think the mail server is not connected to the internet and does not handle "public
domain" emails. It only handled email tragic internally. So the cloud app needs a way
"in" and the idea is to use a simple public mta that accepts the mail as-is and passes it
on to the internal server which delivers to the user(s).
I think a simple mail relay will do the trick allowing traffic from that one IP.

I see. I believe you're correct.
Why bother with the relay though? The intranet mail host could be configured to
accept external email only from the cloud host, as well as intranet
connections. Simply modify the tcp.smtp file accordingly. No?
