How do I turn on the smtp

SMTP - this is your outgoing mail server. You must turn on SMTP
authentication so your mail will go out. What this means is you need to set
your password for the outgoing mail server (SMTP server) in your account
properties.

Use the mail applet in the Control Panel to do this.
