By automating the process, eMule will fetch a fresh server.met file—the database containing server addresses—every time the program starts. How to Configure eMule Server List Auto-Update

These servers act as indexing hubs. They don't store files; instead, they keep a dynamic index of which users are online and what files they are sharing. When you search for a file, eMule queries a connected eD2k server, which then points you to other users (peers) who have the content you need.
