Okay y'all, this is getting a bit arcane so you don't *have* to read it...

It's not an extra hop, as I see it.  It's simply whether the mail is 
relayed via your own server or someone else's.  If through your own, 
it's *less* obvious that you've done this from a dial-up.

There are more concrete advantages as a business - the fact that 
it's gone in your own logs for instance; that you can apply sendmail
rules as you wish; etc..
