For a client, yes. But it is actually both, an smtp server both sends 
and receives. An smtp server talks to other smtp servers.

Yes, it is tricky to get other smtp servers out there to actually accept

reverse dns working, and not being blacklisted.

If downloading is manual, you can also do that via ssh.
