Note: If your sendmail, postfix, or whatever is configured properly,
using localhost:25 will also usually work. If you're not using
sendmail, postfix, or something else to transfer the mail to your ISP,
then enter the ISP's name for the smtp/esmtp server. For example, on
my system:
smtp.bmi.net:25
Also note: some systems are configured to use port 587. If this is
the case, replace 25 with 587.
