Right - this is for *listening* sockets.  Sending an email out requires
the server to make a connection to a remote server - it doesn't use that
same socket.

bind gives the socket sockfd the LOCAL ADDRESS my_addr.

Again though, this is for setting up *listening* sockets.  Not to
connect to *remote* socket.
