The email settings will allow the ability to set up a host email address for the system to use to send emails like reports to selected email addresses. We use Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), an internet standard communication protocol, for electronic mail transmission. Mail servers and other message transfer agents use SMTP to send and receive mail messages.
