SMTP, which stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the software that enables you to send e-mail messages from your email addresses. Without it, you will not be able to use e-mail apps or webmail. When you send an email, your SMTP server connects to a DNS server to determine exactly where emails for the recipient domain are managed. Following that, it creates a connection to the remote email server and exchanges details. In case the recipient mailbox is accessible, your server transmits the e-mail to the receiving POP/IMAP server and the latter brings that e-mail to the particular mailbox where the recipient can find it. If you want to send e-mails, it is best to make sure that the website hosting company provides the service with their packages. Even if you use an online form that visitors use to make contact with you, you still require an active SMTP server for your hosting account for the form to work.
