An SMTP server is the machine that takes care of the whole email delivery process: that’s why to send your messages with an email client or software you need first of all to configure the correct SMTP settings – in particular, the right SMTP address you’re using. (For instance, Gmail’s is smtp.gmail.com).
So, how to find your own SMTP mail server address? You can have a look at the list below where we have collected the most common SMTP parameters, or contact your ISP in case it’s not listed.
Remember anyway that normal servers generally come with strict limits in terms of how many emails you can send and how many addresses you can handle per day. So if you’re planning to send bulk emails you should definitely switch to a professional SMTP server that will allow you to manage unlimited messages and guarantee the highest deliverability.
