You should use same settings as in your email client. For Outlook-Express use menu "Tools | Accounts", choose desired email account and press "Properties" button. You can see host name at "Servers" tab, port - at "Advanced" tab. SMTP port is 25 by default, but it may be different for your SMTP server. You can get to know exact parameters at your internet provider.
