SMTP, which is an acronym for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the software that enables you to send messages from your email addresses. Without this, you won't be able to use e-mail applications or webmail. Once you send an e-mail, your SMTP server connects to a DNS server to discover exactly where e-mails for the recipient domain name are taken care of. After that, it connects to the remote mail server and exchanges information. When the recipient mailbox is available, your server sends the message to the receiving POP/IMAP server and the latter brings that email to the particular mailbox in which the recipient can find it. If you want to send emails, you should always make sure that the web hosting company offers the service with their plans. Even when you work with an online form that website visitors use to make contact with you, you'll still require an active SMTP server for your hosting account for the form to operate.
