How do i know what my outgoing mail server is

Your outgoing mail server, also known as a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), is the server that sends your emails to the recipient's mail server. Here are a few ways to find out what your outgoing mail server is:

  1. Check your email provider's settings: If you're using a web-based email service like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook, you can usually find your outgoing mail server settings in your account settings or preferences. Look for options like "SMTP server", "Outgoing mail server", or "Mail server".
  2. Check your email client's settings: If you're using a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail, you can usually find your outgoing mail server settings in the client's settings or preferences. Look for options like "SMTP server", "Outgoing mail server", or "Mail server".
  3. Check your internet service provider's (ISP) settings: If you're using a dial-up or broadband internet connection, your ISP may provide you with outgoing mail server settings. You can usually find these settings on your ISP's website or by contacting their customer support.
  4. Check your router's settings: If you're using a router to connect to the internet, you can check its settings to see if it has an outgoing mail server setting. This is usually found in the router's configuration page, under "Advanced" or "Mail" settings.
  5. Use a online tool: There are several online tools that can help you find your outgoing mail server, such as:
