+How to manage inbound messages
+==============================
 
 Odoo relies on generic email aliases to fetch incoming messages.
 
-* **Reply messages** of messages sent from Odoo are routed to their original discussion thread (and
-  to the inbox of all its followers) by the catchall alias (**catchall@**).
-* **Bounced messages** are routed to **bounce@** in order to track them in Odoo. This is especially
-  used in `Odoo Email Marketing <https://www.odoo.com/page/email-marketing>`__ to opt-out invalid
-  recipients.
-* **Original messages**: Several business objects have their own alias to create new records in
-  Odoo from incoming emails:

+However, if needed, you can use a separate Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) servers for transactional
+e-mails and mass mailings.
+Example: use Odoo's own mail server for transactional e-mails, and Sendgrid, Amazon SES, or Mailgun
+for mass mailings. Another alternative is to use Postmark for transactional e-mails, and Amazon SES
+or Sendgrid for mass mailings.
