See image below.
For the Outgoing (SMTP) Server, we recommend that you
use your ISP's SMTP Server since this configuration works best.
Most ISP's offer an SMTP Server free with their dial-up service and
all you need to do is call them to find out what that SMTP Server name
is.
If your ISP does not offer an SMTP Server
(like AOL), then you can use
mail.yourdomainname.com
as the Outgoing (SMTP) Server. But, when using your
mail.yourdomainname.com
as the SMTP server, you must always check for mail before
being allowed to send mail (POP before SMTP).
