Hello Andrew:
SMTP server can be retrieved from your ISP provider. The function of
SMTP server is sending the mail to other SMTP server. For example, if you
want send a e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] , the SMTP server A will send this mail to
SMTP server B, and SMTP server B will send to SMTP server C, and so on.
Finally, the mail will send to yahoo.com (it is a SMTP server, too) and wait
for xxx to download the mail.
I hope that the explanation can help you to setup your mail
function.
Jeffrey
