SMTP, which stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the software that enables you to send out messages from your email addresses. Without this, you won't be able to use e-mail apps or webmail. Once you send an e-mail, your SMTP server creates a connection to a DNS server to discover exactly where emails for the recipient domain are taken care of. Then, it creates a connection to the remote email server and exchanges details. When the recipient mailbox is accessible, your server sends the e-mail to the receiving POP/IMAP server and the latter brings that email to the particular mailbox in which the receiver can get it. If you wish to send emails, it is best to make sure that the website hosting company provides the service with their packages. Even if you work with an online form that website visitors use to contact you, you'll still need an active SMTP server for your hosting account for the form to function.
