What is SMTP?
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a protocol for sending emails between servers. By selecting SMTP you can configure the platform to send notification emails out through your email address.
If you would rather have the platform send mail on your behalf, and you have an email address based on a domain name that you own, you can use Domain Verified Settings instead.
