Key Info:  
When your website forms or applications need to send emails, you should configure them to use the local SMTP server provided by your web hosting environment. All our Web Servers have an SMTP Server installed and capable of sending emails. To use this, set the SMTP host to &quot;localhost&quot; in your web forms or web applications. This configuration enables the site or app to send emails through the Web Server’s SMTP services.
