Host name for outgoing mail server

The hostname for an outgoing mail server, also known as a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), depends on the type of mail server and the domain you are using. Here are some common scenarios:

  1. Gmail: If you're using Gmail as your outgoing mail server, the hostname is smtp.gmail.com.
  2. Outlook.com: If you're using Outlook.com as your outgoing mail server, the hostname is smtp-mail.outlook.com.
  3. Yahoo Mail: If you're using Yahoo Mail as your outgoing mail server, the hostname is smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
  4. Custom mail server: If you have a custom mail server set up, the hostname will depend on the server's configuration. Typically, it will be in the format of mail.yourdomain.com or smtp.yourdomain.com.
  5. Public mail servers: If you're using a public mail server, such as Sendmail or Postfix, the hostname will depend on the server's configuration. You can usually find the hostname in the server's configuration files or documentation.

When setting up an outgoing mail server, you'll need to specify the hostname, along with other settings such as the port number (usually 587 or 25), username, and password.
