How Internal & External Mail Routing Work? Give With Example?

When user send a mail NRPC(Notes protocols) to deposit the message into the MAIL
.BOX database on the user's Domino mail server.The Router finds the message in M
AIL.BOX and determines where to send the message for each recipient. The Router
checks its routing table to calculate the next "hop" for the message on the path
to its recipients and determines the appropriate protocol -- either SMTP or Not
es routing -- to transfer the message.
Using SMTP routing, the Router connects to the destination server -- the recipie
nt's mail server, a relay host, a smart host, or one of the servers in the recip
ient's Internet domain -- and transfers the message.
Using Notes routing, the Router moves the message to the MAIL.BOX database on th
e server that is the next hop in the path to the recipient's mail server. The Ro
uter on that server transfers the message to the next hop, until the message is
deposited in the MAIL.BOX database on the recipient's home server.The Router on
the recipient's server finds the message (in MAIL.BOX on a Domino server) and de
livers it to the recipient's mail file
