It's your ISPs outbound smtp server.  The idea is you can set your MTA to
forward all outbound mail to it and it'll handle delivery to the final
destination.  As it has a static IP it's supposed to be more reputable (for
lack of a better word) than your smtp server on a dynamic IP address.

Personally I'm not a big fan, I prefer having direct control over any queued
mail and anything that goes out from a box of mine.

Paul
